My ECM just went out. Anybody know where I can get reasonable priced replacement?

Thanks for the help, Chris

You weren't very specific. Is this an 86/87TR, 89TTA, or 84/85TR/TurboRiv?

If its an 86/87/89 car, the 1227148 ECM is actually not limited to the TR/TTA cars, and can be found in junkyards in FWD cars with V6s. They're fairly common and cheap. You can also find used units for sale in various places like our TRader at http://www.gnttype.org/trader/

If its an 84/85 car...that's a bit more difficult. I don't believe those are shared with any other cars. You have the option of upgrading to an 86/87 ECM as shown at http://www.gnttype.org/techarea/ecmsensors/8487ecm.html looking for a used unit in areas like our TRader at http://www.gnttype.org/trader/ or finding a refurbished unit through various sources.

Thanks Scott, sorry for the lack of specifics. It is an 87 GN. I saw one on the Trader for $100, but was looking for a new one. Of course GM wanted $219 and Poston $179.

Ordered a GM one from Dal Slabaugh for $120, found him on the GM Parts Vendor list and he was recommended by another member. Can't wait until it gets here!

Thanks, Chris
