<DIV><FONT face="Palatino Linotype" color=#000080 size=4>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:</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face="Palatino Linotype" color=#000080 size=4>ECM failures are either
<STRONG>abrupt and total--</STRONG> 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 <EM>NOT RANDOM</EM>. It's totally
<EM>temporary</EM>... confined strictly to the first 6 minutes or less of
warm-up, depending on the ambient temp.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face="Palatino Linotype" color=#000080 size=4></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face="Palatino Linotype" color=#000080 size=4>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 <EM>last</EM> 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.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV>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...</DIV>
