How to tell ECM without car?
Hey, my car is in the shop, but I already know I need a new ECM, I don't know exactly what model it is, would it be possible to figure out just by my car specs?
I eventually want to get a chip for it as well once I get my new exhaust on.
My car is an
88 Iroc Camaro
5 Speed
G92
145gauge cluster
Power windows and Doors
If someone could point me in the direction of a new or well taken care of module, that would be great. I just want to have it in when I get my car back from the shop...
Thanks!

How do you "know" you need one?

Re: How to tell ECM without car?
A few issues I couldn't trace to anything else.
Fans running in the on position. Some intermittent running issues followed by a SES light. I also believe my mechanic mentioned something about it, but that was 4-5 years ago so I cant remember exactly.
I believe the PO had done some fiddling around that wasnt mentioned. Just kinda throwing things at the issues.

It is unlikely that you need to replace the ECM. You need to do the proper troubleshooting first.

Re: How to tell ECM without car?
I probably did already.
I say probably cause I was looking to fix this issue 5 years ago, and I had this written down as my solution.
I'm getting one in, we will see if it fixes the issue or not, if not I can just return it or save it for a rainy day.
