 Subject: Can the E.C.C be reset?
IP: Logged
Message:
Is it possible to erase the memory of the Engine Control Computer in a 1993. Curious because it turns out that the one that was in the truck wasn't the correct one. After I replaced it with one I had in my 94 the truck fired right up but eventually began to run like crap. Hesitating on takeoffs and sputtering sometimes when comming to a stop. I put the wrong 93 back in and when I turned it over it wasn't sparking. Then after putting a spare plug in the #1 plug wire and laying it so it was grounded I hit the starter and now there is fire. I put the wire back on the #1 plug and hit the starter. It almost started so I pumped the gas a couple times and almost but still no start. Couple more attempts and same results. Pulled the #1 wire and rechecked for fire and again there was none. So I put the 94 ECC back in turned the key and BAMM fired right up and idled like new. I shut it off and it started right back up, no problem.I'm going to take it for a road test now and see what happens. But like I said it currently has a 94 ECC in it which I am using because the wrong 93 ECC quit working. It was the federal emmissions ECC and I need the California Emmissions ECC. Which costs about $300.00 more. I'm also wonderingf if Pick n Pull sell these or do they strip em out when they get em??
OK appreciate any information anyone might have about this.
Thanks

Have you checked the splice in the wiring harness
just below the fusebox? It is 3 wires into 1. This
splice feeds power to the PCM, Ignition and the Fuel
Pump. It is known to corrode and causes symptoms
such as you're having.

Initially that was the first thing I checked and I did resplice the wires prior to swapping the computer.
