Can anyone tell me where the ECU connector is on a 2.5 GTO?
I gather these can corrod leading to possible running problems & I want to find & check it.
Also, how can I tell by looking if my fuel pipe is collapsing, give a misfire problem.
Thanks for all comments

If I was you Id just change the fuel pipe between filter and pump.

I have had a missfire on my car when hot for the last couple of months, the incompetent fools at JNM had it for 2 weeks and tried changing the Lamda sensors, injectors etc and couldn't fix it.
Eventually rather than waste any more money I changed the fuel pipe myself and problem now fixed biggrin. There was no obvious visual problem with the original pipe, I assume it was collapsing when hot.
I bought a piece of replacement pipe from Pirtek, its plastic with stainless braiding so very hard to kink.

Total cost £20 and about 2 hours to change.

Cheers Bizarro,
Can you give me some pointers on which pipe to look at replacing. (i have very basic mechanical knowledge).
Also, i guess a coil pack is very straight forward to replace?
Thanks
