Sounds like you've done your homework. I apologize if I over explained too much, but I wasn't sure of your knowledge/ability. I truly feel your frustration at this point. As far as the ECU is concerned, if the engine ran ok, and all you did to the ECU is to swap in a stock chip, then unless the stock chip is bad, or you did some ESD damage to the ECU or chip when handling them, then there is nothing adjustable or upgradeable in the Motronic ECU. Have you tried swapping the aftermarket chip back in? I assume you have at this point. The fuel distributor is also non adjustable. If it worked before, then short of dropping it on the garage floor, it should still work as before. Please refresh my memory. The car ran ok, and you just had some emissions test concerns? I recall you discovering some issues with the intermediate shaft, which is what opened this whole can of worms. One other question - have you performed a compression test? It doesn't sound like that's part of the problem, but you have now piqued my curiosity, and would like to help solve your problem. I would have gone into much more detail earlier on in this, but I only have a smart phone at this point, and typing is a PITA.
