I blew my third ECU today. I am shelving this project. It might be the Alternator, but..... I can't keep pouring mney into it. This is another $200, for an alternator, and another ECU. I can't afford it. I have a good job, and am pouring $150 a week plus into a car that still doesn't ru right. So, I am going to tow it home, and cover it, and leave it for a while. Might take out a loan, and buy an S14 that is reliable and runs great. Stock, these vehilc e run forever. But, just giving the update to anyone who has been following my troubles.

No, I figure that there is no way I am ever goign to come anywhere near gettign enough money back to make any part fo the car worth selling. De says it has to be the alternator, so I might give it a last shot...

It will?

I have a KA24De alternator, but they are differany amp ratings. someone else needs to back this up, before I put the DE one on. I can't afford to blow up a fourth ECU.
