my 1.2 8v corsa has just destroyed the second ecu in a few days!

car just cut out a few weeks ago, eventually replaced ecu with one from the scrapyard and car ran ok for a while, (is only used at weekends)
its just done the same again tonite. tried the paper clip test but nothing is happening at all. warning light comes on with ignition but thats it.

id like to find the cause of the problem this time, instead of just putting in another ecu.

any ideas or thoughts would be much appreciated, cheers...

most likely, but where do you start, car looms are horrendous for wire tracing!

I have a feeling your car might need it to run the engine
