I've read through the Service Manual - ECM / IMMO communication is quite complicated and there's no quick "bridge-the-wires" solution. And replacing an ECM or the IMMO requires another procedure to enable their communication back.

You are correct - the errors don't seem to be related to the throttle position... unless...
there is something wrong with the wiring and when the throttle is pressed / depressed something interferes with ECM-IMMO data exchange, which then does in fact lead to injector and ignition to be turned off.

In other words: the reason may not be the ECM/IMMO, but something else interfering with them and then they in turn stop the fuel injection and ignition.

A totally stupid idea, but maybe worth a shot: check all the cables under the dashboard and over the throttle pedal - maybe something got tangled and gets disconnected?

I checked all vacuum lines today, and also changed the little red filter in the picture. It was screwed into the rear of the manifold and had a hose connected to it leading to the MAP-sensor. There were not detected fault codes during a subsequent 30km test drive.

I would check the battery connections, the immo code will be bogus, it only communicates at key on and if the main ECU power and the memory back-up don't come up in the right sequence you will see and error code.

Some Suzukis and a bunch of motorcycles.
