the ECU caps fix with cure many of the things on your list, if you order the exact rare caps that I linked to
for the climate display, there is a kit to fix that on ebay for around $40 or so

yep ordered the ones you said from digifix or whatever place they linked to, did it direct off your links this morning. I will look for the ebay display fix , you don't happen to know what they are listed as? and on usa ebay motors I presume.

This is now all done. I took it for a quick drive, and it seemed to have a little bit more midrange power- still can't break traction on acceleration 
.
The miss has been reduced, but not eliminated- i'll look into the condition of the plugs/leads/caps/rotors and water temp sensor/O2 sensors to see if i can't get it perfect.
Thanks again for your help

Do these ECU's self learn? Maybe that can explain the above.

LScowboyLS, thanks allot for this. I just ordered it for a whopping less than $2.00 from Digi-Key. I am not mechanical and wondering if I can pay anyone here on this forum to do this for me? My cell is 401-439-1894 and email address is mickeytryan1@***.net, located in Providence Rhode Island. Thanks and Happy New Year to all.

I think sending it to USA to get done would be very expensive and also take a long time!

I have a guy coming today that does circuit work at home to look at it, I just removed the ecu and had a quick look, there is small visible leakage from C-104 No electronics plants or similar out here as I live in a small town on the edge of the desert area's in NSW. definitely wont be posting to usa, the caps only cost me $6 but then $50 for shipping........ Thanks again for the instructional site, would have been lost without this thread.
