	My experience is ..some time ago I had a problem with the westie 
near stalling when i turned sharp right hand corners and some times it 
falterd when going over large bumps...had me flumuxed for a while then I 
removed a small diecast box heater that i kept stored between the rear 
heater and the ECU the problem went away never to return(Theory...The 
metal heater was grounding the ECU???)
s'all I got
