From what I can gather, it seems that the problem with the 'Warm engine No start', is related to a problem with the Ecu. Also, the Ecu has a history of having bad solder points, which I believe relate to the numerous electrical problems (correct me if I'm wrong). This being the case, would replacing the Ecu with an aftermarket (like the Haltech), resolve these issues?

Warm starts are usally caused by cars that need a good tune up. Plugs, wires, leaky injectors. Not entirely related to the ECU. Actually the ECU's rarely go bad on these cars. You might be thinking about the CPU. Try putting a timing light up to it, changing the plugs and wires.

Are we talking about the same thing? I'm talking about the 'no start' problem where you need to put in a fuel cut switch. I have actually had NEW Mazda injectors installed, as well as new plugs and wires. They did nothing to fix the problem.
Ummmm, I thought the Ecu WAS the Cpu... I guess I'm mistaken (can someone explain what they both are?). As you can probably tell, I'm not too mechanically minded.

The CPU controls the clock, warning lights, beeps and crap like that. The ECU or PCM controls engine functions. 87-88 turboII's flooded new from the factory, so you may never get rid of the problem. Best trick is the fuel pump cut switch. =]

Ahhhh, I see. So I take it then that the cpu is the pc board behind the light cluster display where the clock is, and the ecu is behind the kick panel on the driver's side?
Does the Cpu also control interior lights, factory alarm and the power antennae? These 3 things drive me insane!! On any given day, a combination of those 3 will not function. The next day a different combination will not work... it's driving me to

I did finally get a kill switch installed, which resolved the no-start problem.

CPU be like that black plastic outfit with three plugs and is located next to your fuse box near your left foot. The ECU, well we hid that item under the ***** of the passengers feet. You have to rip your rug up and you'll see the steel plate thaat protects the ECU. You have to remove that plate to get to the ECU. That thing on top of the dash with/without the clock is the POORLY SOLDERED IDIOT LIGHT ASSY. CRIMINAL ACT IN PLACE.
