Today I decided to make a quick trip to the salvage yard to see if I could find a working ECU. I ended up coming across the same exact car as mine, same color and everything. I was unsure if this was a good or bad sign, so I found the ECU laying in the car and another ECU laying in another car along with a few random parts that I needed for the interior for $40. Got home and open the ECU up finding that there was no leaky caps or damage to the ECU whatsoever.

After that I popped it in my Talon and drove it around, no codes where being thrown and the engine was running and sounding a lot better. Keeping my fingers crossed as I continue to drive and test out my Talon.
