Read somewhere, that said unplug all sensors, see if it starts, then plug them back in one at a time, does that make sense or will it not start because they're all unplugged? thanks.

Got it starting, getting a squealing sound from the 2.4 ecu on the passenger kick panel.

Would a junkyard replacement ecu have to be programed?, thanks.

I would think not. It's not that sophisticated.

looks like it calls for 0 280 000-517, while looking they also list 967 and 937, wonder if they would work? thanks. If i wasn't so dense, I would try the green fuel relay workaround but can't grasp it. :(

517? is that a typo? Should be 571 or 928 for B234f.

Got a 928 ecu from salvage yard, this ecu is making the exact same squealing noise and stalls after a few minutes of idling, effn unbelievable. Wonder if it's a common fault with these ecu's?

Maybe either a wiring or a sensor issue.
