Can anyone verify this ECM part number? - Page 2 - ZR-1 Net Registry Forums

I'm sorry for my "senior moment"!!!

With stuff like ECM's I always call and talk with the parts hot line @ P & G. They helped me out first shot and it was a good experience.

I could have lent you my spare for a long term if I would have known you were jammed up for an ECM. I have a spare I bought from P & G in my "spare parts bin". It's the older number that was disconned, the p/n 16163993. The only thing I don't have is a EPROM for another mod yr....mine's a 90 so those are the only EPROM's I have as spares.

If something should go south with this transaction....give me a shout & I'll lend you my spare ECM so you can hunt up your own at your leisure.

Thanks a lot for the offer!!

Its not as much that I wanted to borrow the ECM to keep until I find one. I just wanted to check if it would fix the problem , which it did. I dont drive the car much to begin with, and since I put Dandy ECM in, I only drove it 4-5 miles to see if the problem was fixed or not. Other than that, I have not driven it. Theses were just runs around the area and a short run on the freeway for testing.

I am very thankful that he let me borrow it in the first place and keep it this long. To be honest, I had it in there for the testing and took it back out and have not driven it since, until today and I took it out again to make sure it is still working properly.

My ECM should have come in yesterday but it was not on the truck, so he said Monday. I can hope.

I do miss the car a bit, but I have another Corvette I drive everyday, so I still get my Vette satasification that way.

I'll see what happens Monday and hope it comes in.

Another thing is that they said it would be 30 days to come in, and I did not want to wait if I did not have to. I dont have much time left this year to drive it!!!

First, you are welcome!

That is not good about the time to deliver! Sounds like there is gonna be a shortage in the future. Proly due to the fact that most places that used to have them in stock never asked for a core return, or at least that was the case when I was looking to buy a spare.

Offer still stands. Mine has already been to Fla. to help another brother do diagnostics. Just shout at me & let me know if I can help. If we don't stick together & help each other out....owning these cars would really su$k because GM is free of their obligations to keep parts supplies at hand for our cars. ThomasTom72@aol.com or PM me here and I'll lend it to ya....just remember my app is for a 90 so I doubt that my PROM will work for a later yr Z....but I don't know for sure about that...just MHO on that.

Thanks again. i found a shop that ordered one locally. It still has not come in but should be in the next few days. Then I will send the bad one out to get rebuilt and keep as a spare.

Then if someone needs, I will have a spare.

I still think I got a secondary problem I have to hunt up.
