Re: how to tell if ECU is bad??

ECU controls both 1-4 and 2-3, meaning, if 2-3 fouls, then so do 1 and 4. The map is machined off of base map to feed 1-2-3-4.

Did you take a compression reading or a leak-down test? You start throwing electronic parts at something that may be a physical part, like a bent valve or tight valve/broken ring, etc. and not addressed compression first, you will chase your tail not following the very first step to engine basics 101.
