Have you tried taking out a spark plug and check if it arcs?
Have you tried and tested the coil and king lead?
Being Dutch there must loads of mates with simular cars why don't you do a swap of componets to eliminate certain parts ECU, Hall Sender on another car would tell you right away if you have fried your ECU sounds like injector drivers might be burnt out hence dumpping of fuel in the head?

Yeah part numbers get you every time they look the same, but rarely are LOOL!
The best thing is to use a known ECU working on a car no point swapping rubbish for rubbish I've learnt the hard way!
Keep going you will get there mate :wink:

your old one is for cars with a retrofitted lambda probe, the one that doesnt spark is a proper UK spec ecu.  do you have a cat or lambda?
