Without making any changes, does unplugging the ECU and plugging it back in make any difference i how it runs?

I assume you mean unplugging the ECU from the engine? Ie the A, B and C connector?

If no changes have been made to the calibration and it is not runing correctly then you may have a mechanical problem.

I would suggest checking your knock sensor.
Seems to me that its malfunctioning.

I'd actually like to try a bog standard JDM EP3 ECU first. If the engine runs on that without any issue, i'd know for sure that the problem is in the maps (or in the K-Pro?...)

Anyone got one on the shelf that i can borrow?... Happy to pay for postage etc.
