DSM Confusion

[Brandon1ggsx]

WTFOK lets start with a little back ground I picked up a 95 tsi last year that was desperately in need of a remodel car ran and drove. So I started the remodel put all new suspension bushing front and rear, new drive line bushings front to rear, died all interior black put a new 99 eclipse front bumper and headlight on repainted the body. The only issue I have now is it will run for a couple days then it will just die and not start. no fuel injector pulse, no spark. so I checked the mfi its good tried the power transistor, even bought a spare, its good, checked the cas its good, checked the cps, its good, pulled the ecu its good. then I plugged the ecu back in and laid it in the drivers floor and just out of curiosity tried to start it and it starts. why, what am I missing could I have current running into my ecu where it mounts, anyone have a clue or have been in this situation. also the car has a safc2
