Following an almost total loss of power a faulty ECU was diagnosed. I obtained a renovated exchange unit from Lynx Automotive of Leicester for £200. My garage fitted the first one sent which showed up faulty on their software. The second unit supplied passed the tests and power was restored. They fitted new plugs and leads at the same time. However, it now feels hesitant when accelerating in top, particularly when cold. This diminishes as the engine gets warmer, but I still don't feel it's back to it's old sprightly form as before the new ECU was fitted. Could this be something else, such as the injectors, fuel starvation, blocked fuel pipes, etc?
Thanks
