If it's the capacitors, you could get them replaced and sell it for 250 :)

What went wrong with it? Did the capacitors leak onto the board? How bad? How do you know what's wrong?

If it's the capacitors, just cancel your order and replace them. Use it. Makes sense right?

Do you know someone that would replace them for me? It went out while I was driving, it smoked and now when i start it it idles for 2 seconds then dies. I can't get it open right now to see what the exact problem is because two of the screws are stripped on top.

pull it out some how and check. Eric metzger would usually do it, but he hasn't been around. All you need is someone that is good with a soilder iron I think. Ask aroun and make a post. I'd think computer places would know what to do.. they work with small parts that require soildering. I imagine you could get the caps from mitsu? Good luck man.

Eric did mine, costed me 20 dollars and it took 2 days.

DSMChips/Keydriver could do it I'm sure.

If I knew what caps needed to be replaced I could do it. Soldering is the easy part.

It is not icemans. He sold his to someone else and his was good. If I was you, I would keep it, send it in to the dsmlink guys or anyone who fixes ecus and resell it for more. BTW, you got ripped off badly on the 90 non eprom ecu. Taking the chip out doesn't do squat.
