    Whoops. Not sure what I was thinking. We've got a Gen 3 hatchback. Definitely in the wrong forum. If a mod can move that would be great. Will clarify in OP and profile.

    In my experience it hasn't ever been common for ECUs to fail, period. I won't ever say 'never', but the universe is full of stuff that's more failure-prone. Connectors and wiring, even, before ECUs, in my experience.

    I feel the same way. I had 2 of them go out since they came out.
    2002 Honda GL1800
    1978 Mercury Capri.
    The good old days of setting the points....
    Especially if you had a Chevy and a dwell meter.
