I remember when my 1990 started running rough and eventually wouldn’t start, the mechanic said he could get it to run by literally banging on the ecm.
Answer to question 1
Sorry but I'm not quite sure where you're heading with this train of thought but each time I've installed the suspect ECM in the good tracker it starts right up. I have only tried doing so when the problem presents itself in the other tracker though.
Question 2..........
I haven't gone there yet but I know what you're getting at. This is all part of a project to get the new tracker running after it's been sitting for a several years.
I'm basically building it to be a trail buggy for the spring. Spent the past 3 months working on suspension, brakes, rebuilding engine etc. Just got to the point where I could finally try to fire it up and the Code 41 presented itself. I'll probably get to a point where I'll replace the caps on the ECM just because I'm it's a prudent thing to do with parts that could be more than 3 decades old.
Thanks for your reply
