Take it out, pull the cover off and take a look at it.

Re: bad ecu?

It's a good thing I've got a 98 gsx ecu for sale then huh?!

p.s. it looks like you've got a 91 so i don't think mine will work

Re: bad ecu?

I drove home from Rosemount to Eagan a year ago with the death click, it was horrible, turn on, boost up a hill, die, coast down, repeat lol. I took it out and had a bud fix a few capacitors for 20 bucks, good as new !

Re: bad ecu?

ive got a 92 non eprom ecu, the isc solonoid on the chip is blown but other than that it runs and drives just fine.

if you want it you can have it, it probably wouldnt cost much to have the one chip replaced
