WIERED ECU...
(OP)
I opened an ECU -> all the board and its components were sank in a pinkish kind of gum. Is it usual? and if it is, how to remove that stuff from the board safely?
(Nothing was clear with that gum, I could only see a pink plane in front of me).
Any help would be appresiated.

That was a good idea, but I'm not sure if it's something MELTABLE!! I don't know why I think so, just a feeling.
And is there anybody having any idea of how popular is this kind of covering the boards in ECUs?

There is stuff to remove conformal coating, but I think it's a fairly aggressive chemical.
Once you've removed it, you can see the components etc. but you'll have to recoat the board to put it back into use.
I would expect most critical boards (like ECUs) to have conformal coating.
Non critical pcbs (like car radios etc) won't have it because it's a fairly expensive operation. (i.e. it costs about 5 cents a board at a guess).
