Did you work out which ECM you have as posted in the other post?

Coming back quick should be compensated by the IAC. Suggest removing the IAC and see if it needs to be cleaned

What's your serial number?

What is the fuel pressure when throttling down?
How does it throttle up, good and strong?
Plug color ?

Chris. Think you’ve been maybe made a little wiser to this recently, after the last time it turned out to be the case. 3 times in the one week if I remember correctly and from 3 different posts 🤷‍♂️. Or are you just choosing to ignore all these diz cap fails. I could screenshot you a list of nearly a 1000 hits of it on the internet !
