Looks like I cooked my computer

Well, I just went through the code 54 diagnostics chart and determined that I don't have any voltage coming from the ECM to feed the coil on the relay

Any idea on what a computer for an 85 TPI is going to cost? I'm sure that GM is out of this world. Anybody bought ECMs from auto parts stores?

Ok Jim, I will probably regret this but I have an 86 Just sitting in my driveway that I have big future carburated plans for. We all know how these PLANS go huh...

If it can help in any way email me, I will try to get you out of this jam for less then a new ecm might cost. I thought they were not too bad tho? I dunno, just get back with me if it helps ok?

I appreciate it, and I did have plans to upgrade to an 86 ECM, but right now I don't have time to make all of the necessary changes. I do appreciate the offer for help though.
