I haven't gotten to checking the two tests you mention above yet, but will this weekend. Tonight I worked my way through the ECU, checking for continuity, power etc. to each component. I found that I do not have continuity to the throttle switch. The wiring is good from the ECU connector to the ICU connector. But once the connector is plugged into the ICU, nada. I adjusted the switch itself and it happily clicks on and off as it should.

Bently claims that these connectors are "use-once" type. Since I am getting spark to the plugs, the other pins are making contact and the contacts look okay.

So, possibly, the connector is bad and I need a whole new wiring harness. (But I don't think so) Or, the ICU is bad.

Any experience on the ICUs going bad? Or maybe these connectors are really designed to self-destruct. (If so, why make a connector at all?)
