RE: ECU
craigslist.com, Its kind of like a local ebay and people are parting out their cars all the time. I'm not sure where you live but go there and click your state and your region and then search the listings and theres probably a good chance someone is parting out a dsm. I live in Madison, WI and there usually a couple here and a couple in Milwaukee.

RE: ECU
I got an ECU, but it didn't completly fix the problem. Before it wouldn't start sometimes, I would turn the key and all it does is one click behind the center, where the ECU is. Then it got to where it would stall on me when it got hot, and the check engine light would come on and I could hear clicking coming from the ECU area. I replaced it and it was just fine for a day, then it started doing the starting thing again. Hasn't stalled yet, but I believe it will sooner or later. My question is, do you think I got ahold of a bad ECU, or something else wrong with the car that's messing them up? I got the ECU from a junk yard, so I'm thinking about taking it back and sending my old one out to get it rebuilt. What do you people think? thanks.

RE: ECU
Oh and I also forgot to add a couple things, when I drive it, it acts like I have the MAS unplugged, could the MAS be the problem here? Could it actually cause it not to start? Does anyone know how to check and see if it's good or not?

RE: ECU
Thanks Silver, but I don't know if I'll trust ebay with this part. I forgot to add yet another thing, when it won't start, as in when I turn the key, all I hear is that that one click behind the dash like from the ECU area. I just go under the hood and disconnect the neg. battery cable, then reconnect it and the car starts right up. Why in the world would it do that?
