Went through the bentley manual for testing power and fuel pump relays and both relays failed the tests and the manual says replace ecu. So my question is this.... Only thing i found in error was i had swapped the number 3 and 4 fuel injectors. just spaced out on this. Would this fry the ecu??Another weird thing is .. keeping in mind the relays are good. when i bridge the power relaythe fuel pump DOES NOT kick on. Would this be indicative of a bad ecu?I looked at the wiring diagrams and it seems the pump should kick on regardless of the ecu's state. Am i mistaken in this?So... if anyone is in the southern pa area that may have a good 1.9 ecu that i could swap in to see if it sorts my problems i would GREATLY appreciate it!Cheers and
