Long story short, I'm helping out a friend who decided to connect 12v into the sensor 5v out while trying to diagnose a TPS issue, or so I've been told.
Now it seems the CPU has an internal short (gets very hot if you feed power to it).
I believe the MS3 bootloader is not publicly available but would I be able to write the firmware directly (isp) to a blank cpu and just lose the ability to usb flash or is there more to it than that?
Any other suggestions would be appreciated.

Re: Replacement CPU
The monitor for the chip is not available only a hand full of ppl have access, without that being put on the replacement cpu i think its not possible to flash the firmware or use the ecu in general, where are you based as a few members could replace the cpu and do the monitor for you it should still be cheaper than a new ms3 daughter card.
