Ok so the other sc300 that I just purchased left me walking home 3 miles

Ok so it was driveing ok and then the car died. I tribes it back on and then noticed that the track light and the engine light cut off and came back on. Tuen the car died again but wouldn't start this time.

Is it possible that the ECU cut the car off for saftey ?? I did notice tha the upper hose on the rad. Was super hot and the bottom cold. So I know the thermo. Isn't working.

Ok so i was able to start it today but. I can smell Fuel Out tue ***. Its alot. Do these have a seprate injector drive besides the Ecu ??

Maybe an injector is staying open ??

I also noticed this when running and this is after I shut the car off

make sure you clean the board of the old capacitor fluids or it could still short out.
