ECU Replacement???
My Maxi has been driving like Sh*t. I changed plugs, fuel filter, PCV valve and put in 2 fuel injector treatments. It didn't change. I brought it in to get it checked out and I was told I may need a new ECU. Any idea what that should cost, and is there any upgrade I should consider as long as I have to replace it?

i have an ECU from an automatic 95 GLE. ECU's go for hella a lot new and go for around 150 to 200 from the junkyard. I'll sell u mine for 75 shipped. It's works fine and i ONLY replaced it because i did an auto to 5 speed conversion and needed to replace ECU to get rid of engine light. Email me if you are interested.

they all have warranties and your engine light should not have been on that long. You probably experienced problems u didn't even know u had and probably hurt the car. Go on 4th gen forum and look for ECU link. It will tell u how to check for codes and reset. Dam, I hope all goes well. 2.5 years is a lot of time for something to go wrong...
