ECU woes
Dodgy 80s injection isn't restricted to Leyland/Rover. I have a 944 with Bosch ECU. The 1980s vintage electronic injection systems suffer from being slightly too early to be designed to anything approaching a 'standard'. The flywheel speed and reference sensors are notoriously flaky and the injectors are prone to sticking if left unused for 5 minutes. The relay that the ECU instructs to turns off the fuel pump when the engine stops can be reluctant to turn it back on again when you re-start. The location chosen for mounting the ECU seems designed so that it sits in the puddle of water that inevitably collects from the leaky sunroof. I love the car, but not in love with the electronics.
