Z1000H with NOID lite

I'm still chasing an issue on my 'H' where it randomly cuts out when warm. I've fitted a break-out harness in the no.1 injector feed and a 'NOID' lite (non-operating injector detection...?) Worth its weight in gold! When bike is running ok, light flickers dimly in time with injector pulsing - all good. When the bike cuts out, the light is permanently illuminated and fuel is happily pouring into the engine as long as the pump's running (see pic of lite 'on'). After a cooling down period bike starts and runs ok for a while until it fails again. Something is breaking down in the ECU and permanently grounding the injectors.
Does anyone have any experience of these companies who repair/clone ECU''s? I now have 2 which are faulty, and am keen to keep things fairly standard.

I have used Carmo Electronice in the Netherlands more than once for Z1300 and XS1100. i think they do a great job. They are also in the UK but I don't know if they have worked on the "H' yet . As they say , you can always ask when it is not in the list:

How did you get on with testing the engine temp sensor Martin, (test 13 page 31) and is it the correct one? They are NLA but here's a new one

Do all the other tests in the set check out OK?

Yes - the engine temp sensor is fine, but thanks for the link. In the past I've placed them in hot/cold water to check the characteristic, and they're usually pretty reliable. Likewise the temp sensor in the AFM checks out, along with other sensors. The NOID light has been really useful (it cost £3!), and is showing the ECU is intermittently just grounding the injectors. When that happens the cylinders can fill to the point of hydraulic lock, and then the crankcase and exhaust system also get flooded! I'm going to go through the PCB and replace what capacitors and transistors I can. These are the usual culprits. If that fails I'll get onto Carmo! Thanks all for your responses.
