can anyone tell me if my ecu is fucked? how can i find out my ***** a reprogrammed 5-speed from an automatic and it idles badly. I pulled the iac valve it stops. put it back it bad idles occur again. then i pulled the tps it stops then put it back in and when i drive around normally and come to a stop yep you guessed it bad idling occurs. i should just take it to diagnostics which i am going to do but before i go can anyone tell me what can i expect to be fucked up?

if all the sensonrs and chit check out fine, then you need to get a good ecu from a friend or something that works and plug it up, if that fixes it then you know its your ecu.

what codes is it throwing, if any?

if you find out your ecu is ficked let me know. I have a spare ecu for a 93 manual that I would be willing to get rid of for 50 or so. I bought it when I thought mine was messed up but turns out it wasnt. I tested it and it works fine. Holla if you need it
