you havn't knocked the impact switch when changing ECU?

Just a suggestion

As this cuts fuel pump power

Sorry if this sounds stupid

i believe that there are issues with some p8 chips or pectel board combinations - i can't remember what exactly. have you tried doing a search?

Some boards within the ECU require an external switch to trigger fuel pump relay as per some GrpA cars and WRC etc..

and some pectel software/hardware/p8 conbinations do funny things, like the first time you turn on the ignition, the pump doesn't work, then you go back to click 1 and back to click 2 on the key and it does, worth trying, as i had 1 like that, even GGR say they are aware of it but it will never be resolved, (at least by pectel anyway)
