Prom Swap

Service #16198445. Taking the Prom from my 87' GTA and using it in this ECM. The Prom # was DELCO AUXF 3766 In this 87' Corvette ECM. The GTA Prom # isDELCO ABWT 8674. Seems I counted 31 not 32 pins in the Corvette ECM. Could this be a problem? Thanks for your time.

Re: Prom Swap

Not sure what pins you are counting, but a '8445 ECM ('7165), is a '8445 ECM. The application it was used in doesn't matter.

Note that the information I have shows AUXF being for a small truck with a TBI 4-banger.

Re: Prom Swap

Counting the Pins that the Prom attaches too. Swapped it over and hoping to just plug the ECM back in and all will be good for a test drive. Anything else that I need to know? Thanks.

Re: Prom Swap

If you counted the pins on the PROM itself and came up with 31, you miscounted. There will be an even number of pins.

Re: Prom Swap

Must have. Waiting for the weather to warm a bit so I can give it a whirl.

Re: Prom Swap

Ok.Swapped the Prom and flashed her up. Seemed to run alot smoother for a few minutes,till nice and warm .Shut it off and won't fire again. Have to leave for a while before it will fire again. Will run ,but quits after a few seconds now. Have not checked the spark yet. Any Ideas?

You might want to start a new thread this seems unrelated.
Check fuel pressure as well as spark .
