I've had this little problem with my 95 TSi for about 2 years now. It's been throwin a temp sensor malfunction code. I went through all the usual stuff of testing the sensor and replaced it several times. I finally gave up until the car decided it wasn't going to start most of the time, and when it does start it runs like crap. I finally decided to swap in my friends 97 GS-T ECU. To make a long story short, seems as though my EPROM is toast. I can't see any visable burns or smell anything burnt on the ECU, so is it fixable or should I buy a new ECU? I'm tempted to just buy another ECU for the time being, but I'd like to get the EPROM fixed if possible.
