Ok here is the deal overthepast week when i would start the car i would here a clicking sound coming from aroundthe ECU. Everytime it would click the rpms drop and eventually stall out. Normally i wo8uld be able to get the car started and running after a few tries but today it won't even start due to the clicking. I am thinking it is the ECU pretty much going bad. I just replaced the turbo and fuel pump. And am lef twith almost no money. My question is what should i do? GO junk yard shopping and get one of a car there? Send it for a rebuild(how much does that cost and where)? Buy one off the trader? I don't know what to do? Any info would really be appreciated!!
