Re: 89 Oldsmobile Cutlass Questions

I dont think mine are the same production # as yours(I can check this afternoon when I get home) but I remember noticing that the # on the ECM in my car and the # on the ECM that I got as a spare were different...
Im shure there is another computer that you can make work, but that would require a lot of rewiring(as well as other work) and even then, it may not work.
The ECM in my car(which is an 89) had been replaced a few years before I got the car so maybe that is why I havn't had any problems with it(the origional ECM in my car would have been the same production year as yours)
However, the extra ECM I have came out of a slightly older camaro, so the ECM would have been a different production year...it was eather an 86 or an 87, I'd have to check.
But when it comes right down to it, you need to replace your ECM, and a new/remanufactured one would be $$$$.
If you want the one I have, you can have it for $28(if shipping is more than I expect then I'l cover it...I have too many spare parts and am running out of space...) You could get one on EBAY, but you would have to wait for the auction to end... You can try a salvage yard, you may get lucky
