Bad ECU anyone?

Has anyone heard of a bad ecu? Same old problem cuts out at around 4500 RPM error code 2413. I was in the Bay Area took the ECU to Nate at 034, he thinks I have a bad ECU, but we were unable to verify that with another ECU that was in transit to him.

Just wondering if anyone heard of that before, and if there are places that fix ECU's

Thanks Dave,

I will try to swap out the ECU with another from my friend Shawn here in Austin TX first and I will go from there.

Dahlback racing software. Written to ignore the O2 sensor. The PO swore that the O2 s

sensor worked fine when he had it and that it always passed emissions. Of course this was not possible. I spoke with Dahlback and they said software ignored the O2.
