The FD is a complicated car. It is beyond the aptitude of many mechanics out there including the one you took it to. Highly unlikely that your problems are from the ECU. Has the compression been checked?

I suggest you find a rotary specific shop somewhat near you that can take a look at the car. Check the Regional forum for CA and call some of the shops. I think Mazdatrix, Lucky 7 and others are in the LA area.
