Update your profile with a location. It'll probably help.

I've got one I'd happily lend you, but I'm not sending it interstate.

What year is yours? If the model year doesn't matter to the ECU, I'll help you out.
You can borrow mine mate, but I'll want it back. Doesn't have to be right away, but I do want to keep it.
I'd hate to find myself in your predicament and not be helped out.
Pm me and we'll work it out.

Cleaned the throttle body and idle adjustment screw? I'm in Darwin this week, but don't have any MX5 stuff with me

I could buy you a drink though

Hopefully this turned out to be the ecu, but if it didn't & it was an na6, i'd suggest one of the two coolant sensors at the rear of the head, but as it's an na8 i'd suggest looking for an air leak that's intermittently presents when cold. Last one of these, which happened to be an na6, it turned out to be an air leak in the breather pipe from the cam cover - see 2nd last post of p3 of following:
