All of this could be undone in, what, maybe two minutes? Customer was told they needed, at a minimum, a new fuel pump and a new ecu. After all that, does anyone think they wouldn't have ended up recommending a new gearbox as well?

As pwd noted, there might well have been more, but better to not give other unscrupulous shops a how-to.
