Hi Volks, Randolph you jogged my memory. I experienced the ecu shorting to the westy rear seat bracket. Jim Davis experienced cutting out on corners. If the black ecu cover makes contact with the seat bracket some ecus will stop sending coil pulses. I gave the ecu cover more clearance from the bracket by sawing off a chunk of metal where it sits near the bracket. To see if this is indeed your problem lay the ecu loose on the floor, insulated of course and go for a test run.
