Since Dec. 2013, engine dies while running. After " First Inspection: 7/17/14. Milage -141,221. I was told to replace Igniter control module.(DONE) ENGINE STILL DIES WHILE RUNNING Second inspection: 7/27/14. Milage- 141,312 Oil on the outside of the E8 connector at the engine ECU. Removed connector and found oil between connector and ECU. Cam sensor connector tap is broken. Told to replace cam position sensor and housing (DONE) 7/25/14- Cleaned off oil at cam sensor and at engine ECU. (Done) 8/18/14 Milage- 141,692, Died while running. (Operated without dying from 141,281 to 141,692. ) Now I am being told to replace ECU. Is the connector tap, part of the ECU? i Can't find a part # for an E8 connector at the ECU. If cleaning the ECU (without replacing connector) allowed it to run for 308 mi. (141,312 to 141,692,) i wonder if the solution would be, to repair or replace the connector. The Toyota part number I am told to replace is, #89661-33340-84. (ECU) I am wondering if I have fallen into a Toyota dealer's shark tank. i think it would have been more correct to check the sensors first. That would have found the oil between the connector and leaking into the ECU. Not replace igniter control module, then cam position sensor and then recommend replacing ECM . ( #89661-33340-84) What do you suggest as the solution to the problem. Thanks, Rich
