I understand, just made for an extra variable to be thrown in. You know, going off of Aero's post a bad ecu could be the source of a lot of problems. I replaced mine with one from ecu exchange and 100% made a difference. One of the traces on the board was burnt up.Normally, I would not do that, but this thing is killing me
I’ve tested the whole computer completely. Literally every single circuit and to add I have 2 others from older cars. I feel pretty confident it’s not in the computer.We have seen folks replace the capacitors and the ECU still not function 100%. You may get the point that sending the ECU for repair may be something you want to consider.

I blocked every vacuum line and did a smoke test. I did it once from a cold engine to a fully warmed up engine. Haha that’s why this thing is killing me.If it was/is running rich it would give you a code
If it had a vacuum leak it would code lean.
Just think'n out loud
Smoke test will not reveal a bad FPR, pull the vacuum line off and smell it.I blocked every vacuum line and did a smoke test. I did it once from a cold engine to a fully warmed up engine. Haha that’s why this thing is killing me.
The FPR isn't bad. I most likely having a wiring issue. Even if the FPR was bad for it to smoke black the way it does it would have to have a massive hole in the diaphragm. I had a issue with an injector at first not get the signal for the eec so I ran a overlay to see if it would clear up and it did a little. The issue I face now is it revs up and idles good but any kind of load shuts the car down and will not start back unless to hold WOT to tell the eec the car is flooded.Smoke test will not reveal a bad FPR, pull the vacuum line off and smell it.
A leaking diaphragm will cause fuel to be sucked into the intake and run 'fat'. Especially at idle.
I thought I would add this quick update. I’m not even sure why I didn’t check this first. The harmonic balancer spun so it was out of time this whole entire time. I’m waiting for a new one to show up and hopefully everything will be fixed.
