Bob et al,
Blue 15 amp fuse (rightmost when facing forward) directly above the ecu was /
is blown.  I installed new one, cranked, it blew again.
IIRC when car initially died, there was a little trail of smoke coming from
under the coil/plug cover out the back holes where the wires go in.  I didnt
think that normal at the time but then have subsequently stuck my head in the
sand.. =O
Removing the cover coil number 2 looks a little more chared than the rest, a
bit more brownish.  Plug was loose but looked okay (like what do I know
anyway.)
As a review; Sway bar was installed, car sat for probably 5 or 6 days.  I
start it .. drives fine for about 4 or 5 miles stumbles a little upon a 60%
spirited accelleration, I backed off thinking it needs to warm up a bit more, dirve
another 10 yards to my destination, car stumbles pregressively worse, then
stalls but at least is miraculously in a parking spot.
No start since.
 Could one bad coil keep blowing this fuse?  How can I test the coils?
I hope it's not your number 8.  (blown ecu)
Do have have to steal Mr Pizzo's ecu since he no longer needs it?
Thanks much for the help.
cheers'
Bill m - hoping I dont have to go to the Dagaba System for this one.
          its good to have a 911 backup car:)
