An ECU (Engine Control Unit) can burn out in a 1984 Ford due to several factors, including electrical surges from a faulty charging system, overheating from poor ventilation, or exposure to moisture and corrosion. Additionally, improper grounding or short circuits in the wiring harness can also lead to excessive current flow, damaging the ECU. Age-related wear and tear can further exacerbate these issues, leading to failure. Regular maintenance and inspection of electrical components can help mitigate these risks.

early xr2i's with external EDIS can swap ecus with no problem later spec xr2i's have internal EDIS and external pats, you cant swap an early ecu with a later ecu, you cant swap a pats ecu with a non pats ecu (pats is the Ford Passive Anti Theft System)
The 2002 Ford Escort ZX2 does have an ECU. There should be no need to alter this part, as this is the main computer unit for the vehicle.
