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?

 

Does the check engine light come on? If so, what is the code?

 

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.

 

Check engine light has been on since i got it (approx 2.5 years). Don't know how to check the codes. I may know tomorrow. btw it's a 96 se 5 speed.

 

I have a 96 SE 5 speed. Are junkyard ECU's safe? If it will work in my car i am defintely interested! Thanx for the quotes.

 

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...

 

Crap.
