i opened mine up just to check to see if any of the capacitors were starting to leak. usually they'll start to leak slowly and the ecu will still work, so you have some time before it completely dies.

search for pictures on replacing capacitors, and you'll see pics.

i dunno what else to look for?

CHECK SOLDER JOINTS TOO!

look very closely for cracked solder joints, especially on the connectors. It may be a good idea to just re-solder them regardless of what they look like.


Alternatively, find someone with a known working 1JZ, and try your ECU in their car.
