Sent my ECM off to cardone but it was returned as unrepairable. Can anyone steer me in the right direction to get a computer?

 

Someone I believe on this site built a 5 V. regulator for his computer. I can't find the post anymore but the gist of it was that when he checked one of the wires that should have 5 V. On it he found it was low. He built this regulator and hooked it to that wire and everything seemed to work fine after that. I didn't think anything of it at the time but wonder if maybe the 5 V supply built into our computers is a weak link. I know this doesn't help you find a computer but might be worth a try. About the only thing you have to have the computer for his best I can figure out its cruise control. Everything else can be made to work without it one way or another. Just my two cents, Mike.

 

Have you checked Rockauto? Mark

 

I could not find one at any of the regular parts places for my 91.5 but I got one from a place on line. I think the name of the place was auto computer exchange. The used to advertize on fleabay. The price was something like 3X that of a 92-93 ecm. Go figure.

 

Here is you send yours in, but a lot of times they have one in stock...Mark

 

I tried rock auto already. they are the middle man between customer and cardone. Cardone sent back my ecm stating it was not rebuildable.

 

just searched 91 dodge ecm on the bay and at least 1 comes up...Mark

 

Ok thanks. I called them and they only provide rebuild service as they have no cores in stock. I'm getting help from a dtr member so hopefully I will be all set. Thanks for your recommendations
