well if its SPI then its mounted on the throttle body., in front of the injector.

Why do you want to know? let me guess you have been on ebay buying crap haven't you?

so you have swapped back to the original ECU and now the problem is there?

The ait on the SPI's is generally reliable. However they do get covered in oil so clean it and see if it helps. Covered in oil it will be slow to react to temp changes.

But if its knackered then get a 2nd hand SPI body.
