Before you go replacing the ECU, you should check the hot wire under the fuse box. In my 86 900 T, I had the same symptoms occuring intermittently. I discovered the problem during the final failure when the fuel pump fuse *melted* into the fuse holder. When I pulled the box apart I discovered that the hot wire had broken (why I do not know). I deduced that on that day the wire was down to just 1 or 2 strands and heated up enough to melt the fuse. I patched an inline fuse into the circuit and it was as good as new for several years until I sold it. Good luck.
