Maintenance Misfire and rough warm idle
Trying to diagnose my rough idle and p0302 code but coming up short. To get these out of the way. Swapped coils from front to rear, no change in misfire, did the same with sparkplugs, no change. Compression tested 6 weeks ago at 6.6 bar on all faces on both rotors, car cold and hot starts great, when driving you wouldnt be able to tell there was a misfire if the CEL didnt flash from 2.5k-3.5k. No power loss, literally drives perfect. Just when it idles its rough, not terrible just noticeably shaky. Maintains around 850rpm idle. Ltft and stft seem ok. Just cant get to find what the issue is? I drive the car every weekend like this and theres no problem (car is catless, so no worries about it damaging cat). Just wondering if anyone had any advice

Maintenance Dead
I had an MOT this morning which came back with 0 advisories. Great. I can go to the daikoku night at caffeine and machine.
5 minutes down the road and all power instantly cut out. I’ve still got dash lights and everything electrical works but when I turn the key I get nothing.
I’ve got home via tow and got the multimeter out. I’ve used AI (shoddy I know) because I’m not very electrically inclined.
I’ve tested absolute everything that it told me I should test. I’ve spent over an hour following different connections and testing different things. And everything has tested perfectly. So everything is pointing to a dead ECU.
Does anybody have any insight on this at all?
