Default P28 ECU problem... fried?

Just bought a p28 (obd1) ecu that was socketed/chipped, but after inspection.. something is blown.. could someone tell me what this is and is this ecu still workable? The seller said it was working fine. (ls/vtec setup)

popped Q31, the IAT and EVAP purge connectors being swapped will cause this.

Depending on your state, if it has strict emissions standards, you may need Q31 functional. If not, you should be fine.

You can prolly replace it if someone clever, like relic, will tell you what kinda transistor you need there.

make 100% sure you didn't melt the IAT sensor at the same time (it usually does)

thats true.

when its fried the resistance will be unlimited..... and by the resistance graph of the iat you can see that the higher the resistance the lower the temp. (its an ntc resistor)

this reason will cause it to run rich....

IF your IAT is fried then yes the car will run like it's -40F outside.

but that's a maybe. the IAT could be ok. Only way to be sure is you test it with a meter.

pull the connector from the IAT, connect ohm meter to the sensor.
0.4-4.0K ohms is what the manual says. If it's in there connect the connectors correctly and you should be ok.

you may want to remove the burnt part from the ECU, simply rock it back and froth till it snaps out of place then toss it. The ECU will not set a code or run differently due to that.
