Default ECU issues... Burned up resistor?

I had an ECU that was giving me issues like cycling my fuel pump on and off until the battery would have hardly a charge. It was a chipped p28. Later I buy a LS ECU because that's my motor in my 92 CX and it ran better for a little while. It began to be hard to start and just a few minor issues so I took it out to steal the resistor that had burned up on the p28... Low and behold it was also burnt up

Here are a few pics and there were three legs on this resistor.



Other side





Thanks in advance

Most likely you have your intake air temp sensor and idle air control valve plugs crossed.

I found out that I had and a little bit of the traces pulled up and was shorting out on the case...would it be fine to soder a 24 gauge wire instead of the trace that was on the board?

Thanks

On your bottom ECU lid there should be a thin layer of plastic that keeps it from touching/shorting out.
