I see a lot of discussion on various engine rebuilds and exchanges, but nothing regarding the possibilty of changing out the notoriously fickle electronics that manage the boxer engine. I'm admittedly
naive in this area but there must be something out there that would be an upgrade to replace the AFM, ECU, idle controllers, etc. 
I'm coming from a bit of frustration... just got back to SF from a mostly nice trip to Death Valley with my 85 GL... nice except for intermittent surging (AFM going bad?) and a momentary loss of power on one grade.  The ECU was replaced about 15K ago, the Engine is a 2.3L Gowesty with 5K, the Tranny is new, the fuel lines are ok, the cooling system is good, the fuel filter is new, etc, etc.
It seems like an endless operatic deathscene as the 25 year old + electronics fail... if there were something new couldn't it be more fuel-efficient as well?
