[urq] toasted ECU?

[urq]

IME the battery straps only reach the correct terminal ... so you may be OK 
...

If you did fry the ECU, you need a MAC-02 ... they only came on the urq. 
One thing to test is to hook a dwell meter to the OXS Freq valve duty cycle 
test connector near the firewall on the fuel distributor side of the engine. 
If you turn on the car and see a duty cycle value all is probably OK.  You 
can do a further test by manually actuating the Idle and WOT switches on the 
throttle ... duty cycle should go to 50%.  You should hear the OXS Freq 
Valve buzzing too.

Fingers crossed for ya!
