Re: Possible bad ecm i dont know

Sounds like your math is off, not sure your tire height.

Re: Possible bad ecm i dont know

The higher rpm could be from the tcc not lockup up. The lack of communication from the ecm makes me think it’s faulty. The check engine light should be able to blink atleast a code 12.

Re: Possible bad ecm i dont know

Yes the ecm does tcc lockup on pin a7 at the ecm tan/blk.
some aldl shave the splice for the tcc on pin f. A test light could be used to see if the solenoid is getting power.
