not for computer controlled vehicles

So debating on whether to buy remaned carb to tide me over till i get bigger engine.

Went to jegs and did vehicle search. came back with

http://www.jegs.com/i/JEGS/555/15805/10002/-1#

question is, at the very bottom it says not for computer controlled vehicles. I have searched and searched and every single carb says that. Aren't there any direct replacements? THat I dont have to remove ECM for?

If you're talking about the computer controlled carby,here's a link.These are rebuilt very well.The cc carbs are dearer than the non cc.

Re: not for computer controlled vehicles

What's wrong with your current carb setup? Or isn't there a current one.

Carb needs replacement or rebuild. New carb that came with car...but new carb was bad so dont know if its best to rebuild it.

It would be best to know why your carb isn't working properly before getting another one. Very often computer carbs aren't working due to no fault of the carb.

I don't know about Jegs, but if you do a vehicle-specific search on summitracing.com, they do have computer controlled carbs available. It will be a rebuilt, as no one makes new computer controlled carbs.
