I misplaced my stock tbi ecm when I replaced it with a hot chip. Want to install a stock ecm to troubleshoot. Anyone have one around I can buy. Thanks Shawn
 
you want the whole ecm = computer ?

or the prom = chip that plugs in the ecm ?

and what motor/tranny. diffrent tunes.

big diffrence. :D
 
i just want the prom (the chip that goes into the computer). I have a 88 5.7L that I rebuilt out of my K5. I have flat top pistons, Speed Pro cam 195deg at .50, headers into 60series mufflers, open air filter. I just installed new cap and rotor with plugs and wires and the engine started running rich (exhaust burning eyes) and idles high (975 idling) with the hot chip installed. I wanted to put the stock chip in to see if that fixes the problem.
 
did you get your answer on this yet? I have the PROM you need......but check your thermostat! When I put my new engine in I installed a 160 degree thermostat overthinking things......my ECM was constantly running richer and at a higher rpm trying to warm it up! I put a 195 degree thermostat in and it's running perfect now......

If you still need the PROM then PM me an offer to cover shipping and what not and we'll get it going!
 
ecm

Thanks for the reply. I went to a local junkyard that had just put in a 89 burban. I got the speedometer and computer for ten bucks. I appreciate the offer. Missile
