Fried sc300 ECU X3, Cause?
I have a 95 sc300 2jzge. Swapped in another 95 2jzge with 80k. Got it running for a week but then had problems with running rich, stuttering, stalling-typical bad ECU according to many months of searching. Ebay-ed another one and had fun for one day and next morn. same problems. Sent it back, the seller had it repaired...and same thing. Ran good for one day and then same probs in morning....I'm I just getting old worn out ECUs that leak when they get juice running through them or is my car ruining them. Can our cars fry the ECU by shorts or something? Thanks for any help.

Every ignition part has been changed-igniter, ignition coil, wires, plugs, rotor, cap. It's the ECU, the trouble isn't a little stumble, it's a night and day difference. Opened up my original ECU and there was the leaking capacitors. The one I bought on ebay was also like that according to the seller. I will try to get pictures of my original ECU.

Yes, I will be sending my original ECU off to get rebuilt. I will ask if they change all the weak spots or just the damaged ones at the time. I was just wondering if something could be wrong in the engine/wiring/electronics that could potentially and continuously fry the ECU?
