Hey guys, I'm not sure exactly which ecu im looking for but I'm having electrical problems and a few of them point towards the computer so im looking for a new one...

My car is a 93 v6 5 spd , completely stock...

If anyone has an extra one laying around from a swap or something let me know via pm.

Thanks in advance,

Jamie

You need a K801 ecu. I am probably not in your area or I'd help as I have a ECU that I kinda have sitting in my car. What issue are you having?

The only difference is maybe the DRL pinout. If you wanna buy my ecu I have it here, 50 bones shipped, should be there in 2-3 days since I am in Vernon

Well, the car idles really low like 200-400rpm's and bounces up and down between the two it is not steady. Sometimes it also does not start, it turns over fine but will not start. I will leave the car for 5 minutes after trying to start it and it starts fine.

I did the HEI mod with external coil, it didnt help. I then replaced the disty and whole air cleaner assembly box and the piping going to it, valve cover gaskets were just replaced it leaks no fluids. I dont know where to start because people seem to be ignoring my v6 technical forum posts, so I figured maybe the ECU was a good place to start.

Any suggestions?

P.S. I am going to do a little more research before I buy anything but I will pm you guys if I decide that the ECU is a good purchase.
