Update from mechanic. He has fixed some wires from sensors and checked all with oscilloscope. All appear fine now, except the MAF sensor. He said that monitoring the ECU values everything appear to be quite wrong/all over the place. Regardless the engine is now starting fine with all the wiring fixed up, but is putting out a large amount of black smoke. He suspects the MAF sensor is dead, so I dropped of this morning a spare from the manual donor car, plus two others I had lying around (possibly broken). I also took the ECU out of the manual and dropped that off too.
He mentioned that the wiring around the ECU is a mess and has most likely been modified, how or to do what we're not sure. I spoke to the previous owner and he mentioned that the ECU had been switched out 7202 and more then likely reflashed (approx 10 years ago). Never been an issue before but could be possible the manual conversion stuffed whatever delicate setup was going on there? Either that or simply the MAF sensor failure. I think it may be best to swap the manual's ECU in regardless as it's completely stock. Then maybe get it tuned sometime in the future.
Hopefully very close to the end of this!
