Definitely the best option IMHO and with all the symptoms you now mention I would say 99% sure that all your issues are engine related
Do yourself a favour and, unless you know it is OK for sure, do a compression check on the $300 engine.
If that is OK I would only change the engine at first.
I would also suggest pulling the injectors and getting them serviced.
Those first generation ECU's were very reliable, I wouldn't change one unless I was sure it was knackered.
Dolphins are so smart that within a few weeks of captivity, they can train people to stand on the very edge of the pool and throw them fish.

Price must have dropped dramatically on those TB42 engines.
Last time I was there TB42 engines were lot more expensive than that.
Most definitely a good idea to bench test the engine before installing.
Usually when something is sold cheaper than the market price, there is a good reason behind that.
