You really need to disconnect the big plug at the bottom of the Ecu. You are looking for corroded pins in the plug. I have not got a picture but it's been an issue before.

I think I will get my ear valves blanked then I can't hear my wife telling me to sell the car when anything goes wrong

Good luck fella let us know what it is when you find it
