turns out my ECU is fried...

I need to get a replacement for my '92 GXE.

What cars have interchangeable ECU's??



also, does anyone know what sorts of things would cause an ECU to die?

Anyone got a cheap ECU to sell?

Thanks!!

 

I'm pretty sure you'd have to get another ecu from a VG auto. If you had a stick, you could use either auto or manual ecu. I dont know if you can use the VE for sure but I would guess that it wouldn't work.

 

i think there is someone parting out a max, its a 90 se, dunno if its a 5-spd or not and im pretty sure its interchangeable

 

so there's a good chance that any 3rd Gen VG auto will work??



(and can anyone guess what the mechanic shop wanted to charge me to replace it??) :-)

 

probably about 750 for the ecu and 250-350 for the labor

 

DING DING DING!!! We Have a Winner...

 

i used to work in a dealership, and we made our living screwing people over like that.

 

i have an ecu for sale...its from a 90 se...pm me and make me an offer and its yours

will

 

i have a few ECU's laying around if you need one....shoot me a PM or an email

 

do you think the '90 SE ecu is interchangeable with the '92 GXE?

 

yes...VG30E ECU's are interchangeable

 

just make sure its an Auto ECU, not a 5spd.

 

my ecu is for an auto...like i said just make me an offer and its yours

will

 

when my ecu went out, i was told you had to match the numbers that ore on the cover. i think they were blue or something, but i had mine rebuilt so it didn't matter.

 

I'm a bit new to the maxima world - - does this mean that the 1990 DOHC SE ECU is the same as the 1992 SOHC GXE ECU???

I'm a little nervous about getting an ECU from a SE....

 

90 SE is SOHC
92-94 SEs are DOHC

 

aaahhhhh... - -like i said - I'm a maxima newbie... ...the learning curve is steep.


ok - so that ECU has a better chance of working than i thought. Do i need to be concerned with serial numbers printed on it, as mentioned above?? or can I just swap it in and expect it to run?

 

It should just a direct swap without any problems.
