Im pretty sure alittle water or humidity got into my ecu. Looks like it came from above the heater ot something. Car has been misfiring on random cylinders for a few weeks. Havent been able to drive it. I pulled the ecu today. Theres salt all over it. IItook it apart. It looks pretty clean but there are a few pins that have green oxidation on them. I grabbed some contact cleaner and thermal paste today at radioshack. Think it would be fine to try cleaning it?. Im gonna test the continuitly of the wire harness tomorror its fine im gonna try cleaning it before i buy a new one
