Bugger, once again we do not get an accurate description of THAT WHICH IS CRUSHED ! But no ones fault to be sure.
P.S. Can you indicate, using your excellent photo, the remains of what has been crushed and describe what you found. ?

ok, heres my understanding of how things should be done.
if you have the chip in the bottom right corner, leave the bead and cut the tan resistor if you have one. if you dont have the chip, crush the black thingy while leaving the wire its on intact, and leave the tan resistor alone.

if you want you can crush the supressor (black bead). it wont hurt anything, but it might not change anything for the better. what year is the vehicle?
if its a 92 or 93 you can remove the chip and crush the bead, but youll need my tools to remove the rom. unless ofcourse you have your own. edit: nevermind if it doesnt have the resistor its obviously 94 and above. -_-'

no it shouldnt be soldered. they are designed to kind of clip in with a lot of pressure.
its weird that you say its a 92. maybe the ecu is from a different model? mines an m7 tag.

replaced by the orig owner. I can pop the chip out and crush the bead... Are those still related to the hesitation issues ? This car does seem to more then a car suppose to.

even though they are very sturdy, you must be absolutely sure in not damaging the rom. the spines can bend easily.
the thing is though, you dont have the resistor. im sure you can make one and install it but im not sure if its worth all this trouble. in this case i would just crush the bead and leave it at that. as for the hesitation issue, my X doesnt pickup like id like it to, but i dont consider it hesitation. and id wait for tomorrow and give everyone a chance to post just incase we are missing something terribly important about removing the chip and what-not.

In all my dealings with Powerchip, I picked up a few things. Removing and reinstalling the ROM chip is a piece of cake. I did it several times with a small flat head screwdriver without incident. Also, there are three different models(according to Powerchip) of the 92 ECMs. Some of them required a ROM chip to be brought up to par with the others. Again, this is what I was told by Powerchip. They sent me three types of chips that were supposed to work, but only the third one worked. I don't know why they just didn't ask for the ECM model # until the third try. Oh well.
