i can send you one for $20 plus shipping. i just need your zip code and the 4 digit code of the original ecm to ensure i send the correct one for your v6. also auto or stick?

to find the code on the ecm, drop the passenger foot panel under the dash, and drop the two ecm bolts, its all the way to the right under there. once dropped, find the i believe 10 digit part number and let me know what it is. ignore the 4 digit code. if the ecm isnt supplying signal to your fuel pump and the fuel pump is waiting for the oil pressure switch to activate it then yes. it will. my 88 v8 bird needed a new ecm when it would do just that, not supply a fuel pump request, and once replaced, the car started as it should. as long as you have diagnosed your fuel system properly. then yes this may very well completely fix your problem.

It's a 1227302. When was the last time you replaced your fuel filter?

I got one from my dealership for $150 bucks with a $90 core. And the best part about it is that its brand spanking new, not a refurbished unit.
