need ecm
« on: January 07, 2013, 10:39:22 pm »
Im trying to see if anyone has a ecu or ecm in the north atlanta area. When im driving, my check engine likes to turn on and off sporadically. If its on, I can bang on my ecu and it usually goes off and has double the power. I think its a bad comp. What can you all help me with?

Sounds more like a bad connection on a pin(s) or intermittant ground connection. Doesn't sound like a bad ECM to me.

You can't fix stupid but, you can adjust it with a 2x4.

Could be something coming loose inside the ECM too.  What year, engine, and tranny?

If it's a manual transmission, V6, I have a couple.
