Ow... Had a jeep with the same problem took me a year to find one.. was not impressed... BUT, out of bad things I'm now the happy owner of a mk2 mx5 so something good came out of my problem.

But think you should be able to find something to suit I'm sure pretty soon.

Jay, you may have seen that my car has been scrapped after an incident on the run last Monday. If you're interested in a complete re-wiring ( assuming it's a mk1 you have) I could see about taking the loom out. It could be an alternative to constantly blowing ecu's. Have you had the alternator checked? does the car have a voltage regulator or such like??

John.

Can anyone else add to this thread as to why jayryan's car is cooking his ecu's?? Would faulty sensors cause this? If it was to be put on a mazda diagnostic computer will they find the problem?? Has anyone here got the software /hardware to read the codes??

Will re-wiring it make a difference? If some sensor is knackered and causing the problem then re-wiring is not necessarily gonna solve it.

I reckon he needs to find out why the car is frying the ecu first, he's already gone through several of them
