Your capacitors leaked, you have possible circuit board damage. If I were you I would buy another ECU. Here's your opportunity to get an eprom ecu. Buy one with caps already replaced, and if not, replace them asap on your new ecu. Cheers.
 
mine smelt like that

I sent it to andre at pinamotorsports

he replaced the caps and now it works fine

60 bucks to have the caps replaced and the board socketed (was an eprom board already though)

i think is alot better deal then 150 for a new board
