80q ECU grounds

[TooManyAudis at aol.com]

Huw,
 
I believe the code was 4444 followed by 1111.  Strange in that I  believe it 
gave the "all clear" before the FICU code was indicated.
 
I'll check that out later today.
 
Thanks,

I'd expect some noticeable problems if your ecu was  really dead. 
Although, an intermittent ground, esp. when warm, may not be  so obvious.

The "ECU is dead" part, did that come from a  code?

There should be  a couple of brown wires terminating in o-rings on a stud 
on the intake  manifold.
