I have never heard of them. You can get a reman ecm at RockAuto.com
the service is a 1227165.

if you find your car has a Hypertech memcal or a piggyback chip adapter I would think those could cause the code.

Re: code 51
car is still factory - I have never made any changes to it. Like to get a better chip and more performance.
While I am an old jet fighter mechanic, USAF - I am for sure not versed well enough in cars to mess with things too much. Thx again.

Re: code 51
what is weird, is it is very intermittent. When cold out, 40's here in South Carolina, runs great. Sporadic check engine, like it loses a cylinder, but keeps running. When hot out, more often and stays on. But will still run. always start as well. Thx for helping me.
