   I have a 2003 vts engine in my 2002 vtr and the Ecu has died.
   
   I'm finding it impossible to find a 3 plug Ecu, well I found one on Google that was 165 pound Ouch, so my question is,
   
   Is there a single plug loom that will plug into the sensors I have at the moment (maybe cross over loom) I'm sure I read somewhere there is one that will use my sensors.
   
   If not what sensors will need to be changed?
   
   Any help appreciated.

   Well I'm not getting any fuel. So whatever controls the fuel has gone. But surely getting fixed will be a lot to.
   
   I'm planning boost at the moment so going single plug would be easier for the likes of predator.

   Yep definitely the Ecu I've checked everything. I get fuel to the rail just not through the injectors but I do have power to them.
   
   Any more ideas to a fix?
