[Syty] Broke & Stumped!

[DOlivares]

Well, well, look who's....

Nope, I'm not gonna do it!  It's a new year... time to wipe the slate clean ('til the next inevitable attack), so I will:

ECM failures are either abrupt and total-- usually due to infant-semiconductor mortality of improperly screened parts or environmental/user damage-- or else they fail intermittently, i.e., RANDOMLY-- usually due to connection/grounding troubles or thermal transients.  Now before you leap at "thermal," remember my hunt-and-dump problem is NOT RANDOM.  It's totally temporary... confined strictly to the first 6 minutes or less of warm-up, depending on the ambient temp.

Still, that doesn't mean I'm going to ignore your thoughtfully offered advice.  It's just not going to be the very next fix-it I try.  It may be the last thing I try, which probably means that's exactly what will end up working!  If it does I will be the first to report and admit it.

D.O.

ECMs are susceptible to cold/heat just as much as the next electronic sensor.  You have diddled with just about every other electronic part, I wouldn't be so quick to rule the ECM/chip out...  They are easy to swap...

  Keep thinking... what else could it be???  What's the connection to cold/cool ambient temperature?
