Hello Transit Man,

I have heard that EEC-IV systems can lose control of the idle after a
while, but don't know much about that thread.

I would like to get a donor 1990 ECU but the local parts picking ground
does not have any 1990 wrecks at the moment. I can get a donor 1989 GT
ECU for my car, but not sure if their are differences between them that
would affect the car in other ways.

I'd at least like to try a swap to see what happens, but at about $200
for a new ECU, I'd rather not invest that much for an experiment, and
just get one on the cheap from the local pick & pull. I'll post an
update if/when this happens.

Thanks,
Matt

ONLY TROUBLE WITH THAT IS YOU ALSO NEED THE KEYS PROGRAMMED TO THE E.C.U.
AS IT HAS AN INTERGRATED P.A.T.S. (PASSIVE ANTI-THEFT SYSTEM) MODULE
INSIDE!!! BUT IF U CAN GET A DONOR ONE THAT HAS THE SAME SPEC AS URS BY
ALL MEANS GIVE IT A TRY!!!

I don't have power locks or an electronic key so wouldn't this be a
simple drop in replacement?

Thanks,
