I replaced the caps in the ECU, and the car runs good not great but only without theMAF connected when I connected the MAF I can hear the fuel pump relay clicking on and off and the car will die without throttle help any, I alreayd put another MAF in the car and it still does the same thing, I think I just may have a bad ECU. Any ideas will be greatly appreciated.

91 RT/TT

Is there anyone you know local with a compatible ECU? Maybe they would let you swap it out just to see if that is in fact the problem.

I wish there was but no, It almost has to be a prob in the ECU other than the caps, that or another bad MAF

Yeah, it could be 2 bad MAF's...but what are the chances.

Sometimes you can find ECU's at places like OReilly, Autozone, NAPA, etc. I bought one for my TT at OReilly for about $250.

If the caps leaked enough, they could have shorted one of the daughter boards out, or ate through the traces in the PCB. Who replaced the caps on your ECU?

It's worth a shot, but honestly I don't know.
