How the hell do I get the ECU out on my 2000 Miata!
Damn! It is tight under the dash. I can see the lower 10mm nut holding the ECU mount, but can't see anything up top. Can any one give me a little direction?
Started my MS install about 1 hour ago.

Maybe I should get someone to rename this thread to my Megasquirt install thread..
Install would probably be done if my soldering iron decided to work and not break!!
Is this picture assuming the CAS is installed in my engine and I am looking down at it? Or is it assuming I have a plug and I am looking as the end which plugs in? Sounds dumb, but they are different. So far I have assumed it is with the CAS looking down and not having the plug facing me.
Injector Pigtails are ready to be soldered. My stock harness now has 8 plugs 4 for OEM and 4 for RC Injectors.
Still not looking forward to getting the damn ecu out, but I will deal with the injectors and stuff tomorrow, and then I will push the car out of my 1 car garage and finish the rest of the install outside my 1 car garage.

I made that pinout as if you were looking down onto the connector of the CAS not the harness.
Why are you taking your stock ECU out? I don't understand what you're trying to accomplish by removing it.
You should be able to just apply velcro to the MS case, stick it to the side of the stock ECU and run all the cables that way. Worked best for me that way anyway.
