Intermittent fault with wiring to ECU

[taylormj4]

Hi Folks,
Recently, whilst the engine was running, I lifted up the ECU just to tidy up the wiring / get the floating relays back in place so I could replace the vertical carpet section, and I noticed that when I lifted the ECU, the engine started running rough and the revs dropped like it was going to stall. When I lowered the ECU back to its usual position, back to normal.

This was repeatable.
So suggests either the connector to the ECU is not making good contact or the wiring loom into the connector has a cracked wire.
Has anyone experienced this before?

If it's the loom, I suspect that's going to be a right pain in the bum to identify and repair.

Unplug it first and see if there is any green corrosion on the connections, wont hurt to give it all a good lashing of electrical cleaner too especially the wiring connector itself.

Good man. Chimaera again or something different?

No idea to be honest, Im a V8 man at heart but I do really like the T350. A little over my budget but maybe one day.
