That's stupid!!! Nah, j/k That's a really good idea, you can tell pretty easily if something has been burnt by the way it smells, it seems like capacitors often go bad in electronics. Take a quick look at the circuitry to see if there are any indications of burnt resistors, mis-shaped capacitors and burn marks in general. And yes, it does help to bring a friend or two along. I woulnd't be to apprehensive as you are going to buy a $70 ecu, not a $1500 engine or a $500 turbo. GL.
