245 correct idle after start but high after use 200 1992

Today I received the -949 ECU and after a quick internal inspection to see if there were no tell tale signs of blown components I tried it on my B200F.

Turning the ignition on led to the normal sound of priming fuel pumps and the clicking of the relay. Sadly I can't start the engine on this ECU. The starter motor cranks fine but it won't start. Soon there was the smell of unburnt fuel.

I then hooked the -561 back up and couldn't start the engine on that one either. Oh boy, did I brick something? At least the fuel pumps seemed to work and there was a spark.
Then when I had waited a little I tried again and the engine spluttered back to life on the -561 ECU and ran fine once the excess fuel was cleared out.

Just to make sure I tried the -949 one more time with the exact same result. Again no start and again I took some time to get the engine going on the -561. As if the engine had been flooded.

So, either I have a dud -949 or it it isn't compatible with the 245. According to the list Amarin posted in this thread both the -561 and the -949 are used with the same AMM. But that has me wondering...what about the EZK? Does that not also need to be swapped out for a different ECU/engine?
