I installed new ECU caps yesterday

[STARION]

ok, so I got my 1990 FWD ECU and picked up new caps, so I followed the VFAQ and tried to suck out all the old solder, but didn't get all of it. When I took one of them out, it had a sort of black/gray ooze, so I am assuming of course that it was leaking, however I smelled absolutely nothing like the "seafood" they describe, even when holding it up to my nose. When reinstalling the new caps, one piece of solder came into contact ever so slightly with another solder on the back of the board.

so here are my questions:
-will not getting out all of the old solder hurt it?
-I cleaned up the ooze as best as I could and saw zero damage to the board,it looked like it (ooze) was just sitting on the surface, is it most likely ok?
- when I installed the new ones, I only soldered the bottom and wasnt able to draw it throught to the top, will it be enough contact to be ok?
-lastly, since I let a little bit of solder travel over to another solder for somthing else, will it be a problem, I thought about it, and the function of the capacitors to filter out unwanted signals and decided it couldn't seriously harm anything, am I dead wrong?

i'm not sure about the others but the solder that joins the two connections has a good chance of causing a problem. Your joining two connections that weren't meant to be connected. As far as getting the old solder out, i always used a desoldering gun, always worked pretty good

later man goood luck
