Okay. I've been through 2 ECU's already. Everytime I start my car my ECU blows out and the foil that blows runs from the main ignition wire which is black with red stripe. I cant seem to find where the short is coming from but I know for sure its a short on the black/red wire because i hooked up a multimeter to it. Also when I start the car for a split second the ECU doesnt blow... But when I pull out the key from the ignition the car stays on and doesnt shut off unless I pull the ecu out. I dont know what the problem could be but if this has happened to anyone if they could give me some help or advice on how to cut down this problem. Thanks Okay. I've been through 2 ECU's already.
