It might be the caps. Those commonly go bad. You might want to replace those. It's pretty inexpensive.

Why not? all these ECUs are the same age 12+ years old yes its definetly the caps every ECU has faulty caps its not a matter if they die its when they die... fix the caps fixes the problem...

I will not dispute the cap issue, had it happen to me twice. Another thing that might be frying the ECU is the ISC. If your car has a bad idle and you do not replace the ISC then yes this can fry the ECU.
