Here's a dead-simple test:

   Do you have a choke lever?


If you've not looked, it is usually an odd little lever or flap in an 
inconvenient place, with a logo that looks like Saturn in a box.


If you have a choke, you don't have an ECU.

If you don't have a choke, you DO have an ECU.

Motsu - bring
Nihongo - Japanese
wataksi - some form of watashi? "we" perhaps?
e - [direction marker, no literal translation]

"We bring Japanese"?


Best wishes,

Rick.

PS: You have no idea how much I wish Google translate could cope with
     romaji, or at least offer an ASCII->JP input system.
