ECU is underneath air intake, to the right of the throttle body. Connector is on top of it.

Earth point around steering is on the right hand wall iirc.

Drop the glovebox and look to the left, you'll see the other points.

So -

1. Gearbox earth - strap somewhere?
2. ECU - Remove air intake, its underneath.
3. Under dash - to the right.
4. In glove box - to the left.
5. Battery connections.

I am also going to check the throttle connection, throttle body connection and alternator connection.

Is it a case of disconnect, contact cleaner and then reconnect?

Thanks

James

Yeah pretty much, just make sure the surfaces are clean.
