Still unable to buy an ECU for my 94 Q45a (w/TCS) for <$200

[breichert]

Ebay seems pricey at $200.

Carparts.com isn't providing any sources.

I must purchase this to send for reprogramming as a NICO ECU.

Any ideas?

I can get you a 95' ECU but not with TCS, does it have to be?

[qsiguy]

Don't rule out older models. The ECU I'm using is from a '93 w/TCS and is on my '94 w/TCS. From what's been researched one of the front radiator fans may not work with an older ECU but everything else is good. I have not tried to verify the fan issue myself but have not had any over heating problems and I'm in Phoenix as well.

Did you try http://www.car-part.com?

I ran a search for only '94a ECUs with TCS and found 4 of 6 priced less than $200. Like any other web site, it could be a case of garbage in -> garbage out - so I would confirm either by the VIN of the donor car or by the part number.

Absent finding the correct one - you might just get the closest thing that'll keep you going while you send yours off for the reprogramming.

Good luck!

Keep looking on E-bay I found a 92 w/TCS for $72.00 about 2 weeks ago.

This guy is very reasonable and offers a one year warranty.
