Parts listed as "new" were bought online not more than a month old. When Bosch is available, I buy it first. Otherwise, what ever comes next. The fuel systems are all Bosch, or at least it had the Bosch name or brand on them.
I also checked resistance or continuity, where appropriate, for all items I bought and compared with the original component and I can say they're almost all identical. In other words, the items I bought to fix the issue didn't do nothing. Therefore, I now have tons of spare parts.
As for the MAS relay, I had one spare where I took off the cover and looked inside and found no corrosion or the like, installed it but no change.
So, what's chocking the engine when engine runs at operating temperature? ICV?, it spins freely with a 9V battery test but perhaps what's controlling it could be defective but what is it?

Unplug the EHA and drive it like that for a few days and see if the problem is gone. Usually if the car suddenly dies while driving it's fuel related. If car dies while you are coming to a stop or decelerating it might be the EHA, so disconnect that and see if the problem goes away for a few days, then plug it back in and see if the problem returns if it is gone.
