Re: ECM for 93 YJ
Some folks have been told their ECM is dead after getting the emergency
brake recall done. There is a wire there on a bolt that is the ground for the fuel pump and if the 'tech' doesn't know about it, it can be left off and nothing they can do will make the pump work so they think the main ECM is dead. The other grounds for the ECM are near the oil dipstick bolted onto the block. It is a bit unusual to hear of a dead computer in a YJ...

Re: ECM for 93 YJ
Well - this is all related to an "assumed" tranny problem, after having much
work ($$$) done the problem wasn't fixed - Went back to tranny shop and they claimed a spark or vacuum problem. I changed plugs, wires, cap, rotor, and even the ignition coil. no improvement. Went to a recommended service shop - they told me that the crack in the exhaust manifold was causing the O2 sensor to mis-read and this created the tranny shifting problem --- well - after replacing the manifold there is no improvement in performance: From dead stop - full throttle the vehicle is slow (I6 4.0 3.07 gears - it should be like a rocket) remaining at full throttle it will wind up and not change gears unless foot is let off throttle. Then at highway speeds when trying to pass it used to rev up to 3500 rpm's with no drive train response - now (after second visit to tranny shop) it will not go over 60 mph on the freeway and rpm's remain constant (although if I put it in neutral it will rev up). So the service shop is guesstimating that the computer is bad - but finding one is proving difficult - the service shop is continuing diagnosis to see if they can verify the computer is faulty...... thanks paul "Mike Romain" <romainm@sympatico.ca> wrote in message news:4631fc30$0$21782$9a6e19ea@unlimited.newshosti ng.com... > Some folks have been told their ECM is dead after getting the emergency > brake recall done.

Re: ECM for 93 YJ
You are describing a failure in the TPS to me.
The plug and socket on it get dirty and need cleaning on a regular basis. This controls throttle response and shifting. I recommend an electronic spray contact cleaner, but even WD40 will do in a pinch. If you have a multimeter I can give you the electrical test info for the TPS also.
