silicone is used as a sealant and does not normally conduct electricty. I use it on circuit boards all the time. What is the problem you are having?

silicone sprays (used in valeting and light lubrication) can contaminate and degrade MAF sensors. Not sure what you think it would do to an ECU, it's used to encapsulate, as bongo says.

If you think you are in need of an ECU, google the ecu doctor,their rates are pretty good and a fraction of a new unit.
