In the first post you said you had tried another ecu but lower down you say you are looking for one to test with?
The ecu pictured is a late gen 2 ecu. Shouldn't be too hard to locate one if you want to swap it out.
Take the lid of the ecu and look for any damaged components inside like capacitors.
It's already been mentioned but have you confirmed that the circuit opening relay is functioning correctly? Sounds to me like this could be the problem if it runs for a few seconds.
