Hopefully it is the same issue, I'm assuming it was a quick fix?

yes, it died then started back up again. as i was driving the car had no balls at all. hardly no acceleration had to shift between 1st and 2nd continuously just to make it to the shop.

Just got back from the dealer today. It is confirmed it was a ECM fault dealer has to order it either from the states, which takes a month. Or it will be shipped in from japan which will take 3 months. But "thankfully" it only takes two days to fix once its here lol

Damn, at least you know what it is, but that sucks about the lengthy down time! And no loaner car either I assume..

Wow. I can't believe it takes that long to ship the ecm.

Glad you've got it figured out though.
