Default My OBD1 P75 ECU looks different.

Hello everyone, I just bought an OBD1 P75 Auto ECU from a '94 DC4. But when I opened the case, it looks different from what I'm seeing online for chipping tutorials. Any ideas?

The construction of the circuit board is like that found in a USDM OBD-2 style ECU (even though the plug styles are OBD-1 type). You must be from another market.

So this is useless for tuning despite being OBD1?

Exactly... unfortunately. If you paid more than $20 for that ECU, you got burned.

Well, that's only a very mild burn. You know what an OBD-1 ECU needs to look like on the inside... and it isn't what you have. Good luck hunting.
