ECM problem?
how do you trouble shoot for a bad ECM? The problem I have is my Fan stays on all the time... I have a 200-185 fan switch and it will run as soon as the car is started (A/C and heat are OFF). And my coolant temp sensor acts wierd sometimes along with a wierd drop in the voltage gauge (once in a great while) the car is tip top shape New Red top battery, one year old altinator, new fan switch and new temp sensor (driver side head)... I would like to know how to trouble shoot the ECM. Thanks guys.

You didnt say if you bot the car with that problem.
Anyway, does the Service Engine Soon light illuminate when starting the engine?

Re: ECM problem?
on a tbi f-body the ecm does not control the fans. The ecm does have a input for the ac request to raise idle speed when ac is on b8 if it is a 1228746 ecm. The coolant temp sensor in your passenger side head grounds the fan relay at 200f if thats what your saying its replace too. You need to start looking at the relay if the fan is coming on when the ket is on or see if the coolant temp sensor is grounded before 200f causing the relay to activate or the ac pressure switch.

Re: ECM problem?
If the ses light is on during idle, then there is a troublecode. Turn off Camaro, ground terminals A & B in the ALDL port, and note the codes. Then investigate the TC.
