update: the power supply circuit was overloaded and failed. waiting to get it back.

I found a guy in santa ana that tests and repairs ecu's. headed down saturday. i'll report back.

yes, and i checked the resistor. power to both.

yeah, code 35 was on for month's after i replaced the purge solenoid. unrelated issue. i don't have a spare ECU and no one i've found in So Cal can test mine. i'm assuming mine is bad based on no cel with key on, and i've tested all other elements of the ignition system.

anyone seen an ECU fail?

thanks for responding. i pulled the cap to check for moisture. it was dry but the posts were corroded and worn so i replaced it. i get power to the coil, so i don't think it's a grounding issue. ohm reading on coil is in spec also. btw

Hi, This is my first post. looking for a little ignition system help on my 1994 loyale wagon 4wd manual. 296k miles. new motor at 270k second owner vehicle. so, drove to my girlfriends house for dinner the other night....ran great. came out after dinner, it won't start. tried the old ether trick to see if i had a fuel system problem. turns over, but no spark. pulled a plug. no spark started testing parts and now i'm stuck. fusible links all ok. timing belt ok. i have power to my coil, but no spark on the coil wire. tested a known good coil resistor. not it tried another known good ignition module/distributor. not it. do the ecu's go bad in these cars? my local subaru guy says he's never seen a dead ecu. indicators of bad edu: no cel w/ ignition on before attempting to start no trouble codes blinking. prior to losing spark, i had code 35 for the purge control solenoid, which i replaced with an aftermarket part and the cel stayed on. ideas? i'm in the dog house with my GF for leaving the little wagon in her driveway.
