Default 95 ECU leaking capacitors

Just a heads up for anyone having issues with idling or trans shifting or car running to rich blowing alot of smoke at startup.

I found two capacitors leaking pretty badly in my ECU. I confirmed this is probably the most likely to leak as I found an ECU in the junkyard with the same issue.
There are 6 capacitors in the ECU.

2x CAP ALUM 10UF 20% 50V
1x CAP ALUM 47UF 20% 100V
2x CAP ALUM 100UF 20% 10V
1x CAP ALUM 220UF 20% 10V

So i ended up replacing all the capacitors. The car shifts much smoother, before it would take a while to shift into the next gear until I REV high enough.
The high idle is gone and no more clouds of smoke at start up.

If anyone wants to work on caps. One worthy tool to have is ESR meter when checking caps.
