My Jeep w/ bad computer
 

Hi all,
Just wanted to say what a wealth of information you all have here. I
was able to order a computer through Fisher auto parts for $200 just
like I was told here. I called the guy back to double check on having
it programmed. He told me that they *never come pre programmed and
that I'd have to take it to a dealership to have that done. I told him
I was told online that it wouldn't need to be. He called me back after
finding out that indeed I did NOT have to get it programmed. :) yay!
So I'm going down to pay for one this week and he'll have to order it.
Much cheaper than having it done at the Jeep dealership. They wanted
$550!

So thanks again! So glad I found this site!

I've got an extra ECM for an '86 full size Chevy. If anyone
is interested, email me for more details. You'll need your
own PROM to install in this unit. scott_unit_69(AT)
yahoo(DOT)com. Make offer. It's collecting dust with
all my old AM CB equipment. :)

I sold the car last year. This is a tested extra computer.
I got one at a boneyard and I drove around with it for a week
until someone gave me another. I swapped PROMs and never bothered
to swap the unit back. I fried my original with some bare underhood
wires. The fried one was tossed. This was my spare unit.

The car drove with the ECM unpluggged, like a 5 ton bag of sand!

Negotable plus exact shipping from 212.

Large amounts of RF, a bad alternator (too much voltage) and shorting bare wires
will kill a computer. Be sure to check all the wires to the sensors before putting
a $200 computer in your vehicle. Also, connectors are always suspect. I pull my
connectors apart and reconnect them every few months. If one starts to go bad,
I'll know about it before it surprizes me.

My Jeep is my first new "car". I watch over it like a hawk! 9 years old last month.
