Hello guys,
I have an M52B28 swapped E30 sedan, bone stock M52 with stock ECU which was completed about a year and a half ago.
I have been driving it quite frequently after the rebuild and I haven't had any problems until yesterday. I was driving for about an hour and suddenly I smell something was burning in the cabin. I switched off the car immediately and luckily no fire but the car couldnt start. It cranked, but didnt start.
After a thorough investigation, I found that part of ECU was fried (pic attached). I did check other wires, fuses, and relays and found no indication of a short circuit. This is the only part that was burnt.
Can anyone tell me what part is this and what are the causes of this failure? I'm at lost right now and this makes me worry driving the car
