As part of the inherited Talon, I’ve found parts around the house and basement, etc.
I found an extra ECU (MD165531) and I intend to use this one for ECMlink and pull out the one on the car that has the old school Todd Day “mods” along with the original Super AFC.
As I was socketing the extra and replacing the caps, it occurred to me that the wire jumpers on the bottom might not be standard. That and it looked like at least two of the old caps had been replaced (poor soldering). On the other hand there’s this coating of “varnish” over both sides of the board which I assume is a factory applied coating. Comes off stubbornly with alcohol.
Anyway, is this normal for the ECU or do I have one that’s messed with in some way.?
