The ecu in an NB stands vertically above the driver's knees or calves. Four multi connectors on it. Maybe open it up and see if there is a loose piece of solder floating around in there?

Nb miata blowing ecu fuse the other thing that led me to think this wasn't the ECU was that Mazdaspeed showed it for $75, I thought the CPU was in the 3-400 range and I thought it was behind the passenger seat?

This POS was supposed to be replaced under warranty by the stealership and I dont think they did. If you recall months and months back my 2001 Miata was flaking out every so often, blowing the ECU fuse, and id have to have the car towed home. Totally unpredictable when it happened I traced the wire back across the underside of the dash (the dash and instruments are now completely removed from the car) There is a blue block on the driver's side of the heater core. When I unplug that I stop getting a heavy continuity reading at the ECU fuse. Plug that back in and then I followed that along and i found that when I unplug the middle socket from this unit in the picture I stop getting the bad reading at the fuse block. So is the unit bad, or where do i go from there? -Blake On Tue, Mar 25, 2008 at 10:14 PM, Bill Cardell <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: I'm confused.
