Bad ECM :(

89MNTTA

Well-Known Member
I hope this isn't a 'welcome to last year' post, but my ECM is toast. I have an '89 TTA, and was wondering where I could get mine repaired, or where/how to get a replacement.

I'm a newbie with the 3.8 turbo-six. Any help is much appreciated.

:)
 
I was going to buy this one from SouthernCal GN ( [email protected])
of the turbobuick.com forum, but I bought a new one.
He may still have one, he said that he knows it's a works. He wanted $75 last summer for it.:cheers:

Contact "Red Regal T" on turbobuick.com

That's where I got my spare, great guy to deal with and you will get a fully tested ECM. He's been selling ECM's for years to the members of TB.com You might even want to consider getting an extra one to keep as spare.
 
Thanks a lot guys! I appreciate it very much for the help!!

Happy New Year! I hope I find my next ex-girlfriend tonight!

:cheers:

Well, I don't want to say, cause when I got it, it was in a sealed box, but the bolts inside were rusted and the box looked like it went through hurricane katrina...I installed and got an instant check engine light and the car would barely run. What I thought was a bad ECM, turned out to be a bad IAC sensor. I sent the ECM back and the vendor was cool and returned my money quickly. Turns out that my original ECM was ok.

What is the part number on our ECMs? are they TTA specific?

I think they are all the same. Altleast that is what I've heard from several people. They look identical to me.
