Message	I picked up an JW ECU from a member here, which turned out to be a Cal ecu, and after about 6 weeks of driving one day I came outside and it just would not start. Tried different things, and I still had my factory ecu so I popped that back in and it fired right up. Same thing, no LED, no nothing. I still got that ecu, dont know if it is repairable or not, but it still has the JW chip. I didn 't think ecu failures were common either but it happened to me.
