Well im a newbie and well i bought a very nice 95 se 4 months ago....little to find out after a while the check engine light came on and found out i couldnt get my codes because somewhat my ecu was fried or something in the past happened to it. Im buying a new ecu today for $80 bucks from a friend and if you people can help me out on the way it is installed.......or i know my friend can install it but i would like to get other opiouns if you know what i mean. Hmm other then that as soon as i get my car tuned mechanically.......here comes another monster teg with lots of plans ahead of it

 

open up the passenger side kickpanel (on passenger side, to the right hand side where ur feet will be, u will see a plastic cover held together by a 2 plastic round clips. one of the clips is close to the floor and the other one (which is larger than the other one and Black in color is located more towards the front of the car. it looks like a large plastic flat head screw)) Pop those clips and remove that cover. after u removed it, u should see the ECU. unbolt it from it's bracket. plug out the old ECU and plug in the new ECU. put everything back together.

 

unplug the batter first though. Start the car afterwards and let it idle for 10-15 minutes for the ECU to relearn your car.

 

thank you guys, thats what i love about car forums so much....as long as there simple non n00bie questions asked i get very nice replies.....YOU WILL START TO SEE ME....THE NEW POSTING *****(MAYBE)....anyways i have very much future plans.....

specs:

95 SE with 169XXX miles on it and runs great on me but sometimes it stalls....need to get that check engine light and ecu on ASAP......as soon as car is tuned mechanically..........new engine........jackson supercharger.....internals......then after that i'll be lost...

CAI
Front strut bar
Optima Yellow Top battary (for the ICE)
NGK spark plugs/wires.

Anyways thanks for the info guys.....you'll see more around more competition maybe?

 

if u dont wanna disconnect batt u can pull tha ecu fuse under the hood

 

to reset the codes on the car i looked in my "HAYNES" book and they says: when the PMC sets a trouble code, the CHECK engine light will come on and a trouble code will be stored in the memory. the trouble code will stay in the PMC memory until the voltage to the PMC is interrupted. to clear the memory, remove the BACK-UP fuse from the fuse/relay box located in the right side of the engine compartment for at least ten seconds NOTE: unplugging the BACK-UP fuse also cancels the radio preset stations and the clock settings. be sure yo make note of the various radio stations that are programmed into the memory before removing the fuse.
