Ok, if it were me, I'd get out a toothbrush and some 90% isopropol rubbing alcohol and scrub the board to see exactly how bad it is... (if you clean the board up and it looks good, make damn sure it's 100% dry before plugging it back in!)

But, damn, that doesn't look good... (so much water damage (white spots) and burned spots)...

This is exactly why I'll be ordering a waterproof case from Specialized ECU Repair... (just verified that my car doesn't already have one installed)...

I just made a quick pass at trying exactly what you said. It looks better, that's for sure. However, no idea how it works. I agree completely that it must be 100% dry before I try it, if in fact I try it again. I don't know if I can cause any further damage that way. Hopefully someone much more experienced in this than I am will chime in and let me know it I should try it again.
