I think I may have a bad ecu but I'm not sure, let me explain. driving one night my car suddenly dies on me. When I finally got it home, first thing I did was check for spark so I pulled number 4 wire out from head then put a long bolt in there to make contact with the lead (to basically extent the lead out from the rubber housing) then held the bolt about half an inch away from a ground point. Cranked her (have automatic start so I was able to do it outside while outside the car) and guess what she started right up (weird). I thought it might have been my spark plugs or wires so I changed the plugs but the next day she died again. So I proceeded to check for spark using the same method but nothing happened then check for fuel nothing there either. I checked the resistance of my MFI relays and they seem to be good. I read about the Crank Angle sensor but I know this wasn't the issue because I recently replaced it due to the balance shaft (which is also eliminated) knocking it out and I'm not getting fuel so I know thats not my problem. Same thing goes for the Cam position sensor. I looked at my ecu at the back look like it had some kind of copper looking residue on it but I read that is normal so I dont know where else to look. So before I by another one from ebay for $200, I'd like to know what you guys think. Oh I also check the DTC and boy oh boy I got like 5 codes see attached.
