I don't know what happened exactly with cowboy but he's not on here anymore. Worn or leaking, the caps are definitely over due in age to be changed out.
Yamae is the man when it comes to the ECU. As far as I've seen there is nobody better, or knowledgeable.
That Jap driver is just a tiny bit bigger then a regular Philips, but it works on alot of other stuff including the screws to get the rotors off when ya change the brakes.

Tried taking it for a test drive. RPMs started to shoot up quarter mile up the road. Break didn't seem to be working right and I slammed the car into park. Every time I try to start it up now the RPM just shoots straight up and revs. Pushing my car home tonight

High RPMs could be a vacuum line. I don't remember if that's one of the symptoms of the ECU. That's pretty weird of the brake not working, unless you're talking about the high RPM and still in gear not stopping the car.
