well my ECU page covers all about ECU Rubon black capacitors that all blow up. like both yours did.
this is not new, but 1996 usually have good blue caps there, that last an last....
new caps is like $5 cost and easy fix.
they are polarized, for sure. Plus lead to Plus pad hole only.
what this does is cause the ECU to reboot constantly, now or soon and the center cap there, wow that too is bad and will cause noise in the PCU.
this noise sure can make the CKP zero crossing detector go nuts.
the bad snout and bad ecu caps are the 2 top failures on this car (difficult and not obvious like bad brakes,. tires, wiper or fan belts flying off)
these 2 things can combine into a pure H3LL, . and will only get worse that ECU. some get so bad the CEL lamp goes dead or can not communicte with the ODB2 scan tool or connects then drops off line and repeat that. over and over.
ok you found it, first 96 ive seen with them, 95 back ,huge numbers like this.
my guess is your ECU was made in different factory that used old caps , from 1995 year.
wiki covers this,
called the cap plague
