What you need is the effort to get a second (and maybe a third) opinion.  -- and that said with all due respect.  That will save you money, give you peace of mind (that the problem is known and steps to resolve is taken) and you will learn from it.  In addition to it, you can depend on the vehicle.  Another engine is another "bag of beans" that is uncertain.  There is nothing on that vehicle that cannot be fixed. It's a very basic engine.

Thanx, ur advice is noted.

hI GUY,
thanks for your excellent reponse. is time Nigerians drop the habit of buying dead engine rather than fixing broken engine or broken parts. this present crop of mechanics are too, just too poor in fixing faults. all they will recommend is belgium parts. enough of this madness.

Take this truck 4 diagnosis, then if confirmed it's ECU ECM problem, replace them. simple!

You can be rest assured that there is nothing wrong with the ECU. It's a logic controller and it is mapped. It is not an operating system written to a hard drive, hence prone to crashes. The missing variable is knowledge/understanding not ECU swaps.
