Frank: Thanks for your reply! Here is how it goes: After the motor has not been running for a while, you start it normally. No alarm light comes on. It runs normally. (At this point my mechanic checked with his laptop and the only issue he noted was "low oil pressure." You try to start the engine after it's been running as little as 10 minutes. It only cranks and won't ignite. Let it rest for about 15 minutes; it starts. Any ideas? Thanks again.

This was sent by PLAN3 the OP in a Visitor message to me.
Presumably he is having some issues getting back into this thread to post more info.

Off the hop, my guess would be inadequate cooling of an electronic component....and the primary suspect would be the EMM since that has just been worked on. That is just my guess from the chronology.
Two caveats:
1) I have no idea what prompted the work on the ECC....it may not even have been the root cause of whatever issue that it was.intended to solve. So there may be a deeper problem.
2) I have limited exposure to Ficht O/Bs, so am over my head already.:)

Happily, there are some Ficht experts around who will likely chime in.
