Really.. boo I was hoping it would be an easy fix... Why does his ecu have them? You can tell that they were deff installed when the s300 was by the solder joints

Fixed the problem! I went over and re soldered every connection that was socketed.. works perfect now! Thanks for all your help!

Any more detailed on the fix? I have a similar problem on my S300.
When I turn the ign on, the engine light doesn't go off. Sometimes I'll have to wait 10-15 mins before the engine lights goes off. And that's when I hear the fuel pimp being activated and I'm able to start the car.
Wierd thing is that when the car is warm it doesn't do that. If I've been driving around and the car is warm, I can easily just start it again like normal. But If I leave it overnight I'll have to wait for the engine light to go off again. If I don't drive the car for a few days, I have to wait even longer, maybe 15-20m

Any ideas?

Have you tried resoldering all the solder joints on the ECU socketing?
