How to fry an ecu?

Well...after reading all these supra forums (like 4-6 on the net), for the last 3 years, and all the old threads (like 3-4 years back), I can say that the ECU does not appear to be a regular 'problem' (like BHG, radiators, turbo oil leaks).
It seems that neither are the TPS, ISC, cold start system, temp senders, oil pressure senders, water pumps, alternators, power steering pumps, wheel bearings (seem to be very tough), and ABS system.

I think that most electrical problems are caused by (1) eventual component failure, and (2) by someone working on the car that was not very proficient with Supras (human error with assembly/disassembly).

You gotta figure, these cars have probably had 3-4 owners, and several repairs before you got it.
