Default Urgent help needed!!!!!!

ok SC300 w. 120k died on me earlier today and fiqured it was a fuel filter with how it died and one of the things I havn't personally changed. So I look at the cap rotor also and the rotor looked bad so replaced that. So new fuel filter and rotor and the car ran for a few minutes then sputtered then died. I leave in the am for out of town for work and need some asistance here on what to look for and try to diagnos.

do a search on the 12v ECU mod and you would have saved some money.

Well I didn't know what the issue was just needed my car back, tried to diag it myself but no luck, But the ECU was replaced for free because the car is still randomly dying on them so now they are still trying to fiqure out what's wrong with the car.

What is happening is power is dropping going to the ECU causing the fuel to shut off, so the bypass wouldn't help because it's a problem that isn't related directly to the ECU
