Here are two companies that can rebuild yours.

Price range from $200 to $300.

New one from Nissan is ~$600.

If you are lucky you can find a junkyard unit, they range anywhere from $100-$300.

Hopefully my car will be up and running by this weekend

 

um... I put my Laptop into a coma, does that count?

 

how'd you manage that?

 

It will probably be frightening to find out.

Connect the battery backwards?

Wouldnt that take more with it than just the ECU?

Tony their was a guy back in the 4th Gen Forum who had killed the ECU on his 99 SE-L .. i remember because i was trying to help him find one on car-parts.com but they didn't have any...

 

I didn't do that. I was hooking up the HKS and it was all connected. With the car off, then I decided to change the ground strap to a different location. I accidently touch the ground strap to the positive terminal of the battery. The HKS must have sent a massive load of voltage to all 6 of the ECM ignition trigger wire and shorted it out.

 

He was doing the HKS twin power ignition unit thing.

 

just head to the junkyard..with some baggy pants....strap the Ecu between your belt..and belly

 

ouch!!! sorry to hear that about one.

 

Tony don't know if this will show up but I found a few w/ a short search though www.car-part.com

I bought an front exhaust manifold though the same search and it went very smooth. But it probably depends on the individual place you end up sourcing.

Unfortunately the above search didn't have a price but there were alot of choices for ecus. I just used 1999' as the model year. I guessed at your year.

 

Ouch! Don't you hate when that happens

Going by his badges on the door I would say good guess.

My original ECU is toast. I fried the main processor and it can't be repair. The good news is the junkyard one I ordered for $100 on Monday was a perfect match. Same part number and everything. But I can't start it because of the Nissan Vehical Immobiliser System. It would run for a second and the immbilise system kicks in. I'm getting it towed to the dealership and getting the keys reprogrammed. Another ~$250 lesson

 

Thats been one of my worst fears, but if you can get one at a junkyard for 300 bucks, it's not that big of a deal. The worst part is that it could have been prevented, I've been in the same boat.
