make sure you check your thermostat, overflow tank, etc if it is heating up like you said... don't drive it around and kill it

It overheats after idling for 10 minutes?! Diagnose and fix that first.. screw the ECU for now. Is your fan even spinning??! Is there any coolant in the reservoir? Are there any noticeable leaks or smoke? Start from scratch with this man.
