Got a random code on it and since it can cause other issues, like the 3rd gear thing I thought I solved with Vanos solenoid, I just replaced it. Once I actually plugged it in, the ECU code went away.

What do you mean by no power with EWS? Do you mean, not starting weirdly due to EWS? I only did the EWS delete on my backup ECU, which turned out to not be turning on the fuel pump. My primary, factory ECU with EWS still enabled does turn on the fuel pump correctly. I can try disabling EWS on my primary EDU also.
