Can anyone verify this ECM part number?

[ffvetteman]

I found a gentleman who has a ECM that he said is from a 90 ZR-1. The part # on that ECM is 16061310. The Part # on my ECM is 16163993. AC Delco lists PN 16163993 as a replacement for 90-95 ZR-1.

What Im trying to find out is will that 16061310 ECM work in my 92 ZR-1?

I checked with a local dealer and they do not have 16061310 at all in thier computer. They did have 16163993 listed and stated it is a replacement for a part number that started with 12..........

Now I will use my PROM as I have 2 of them for my 92.

Should I buy that ECM for my 92?(He is selling it at a good price.)

This is the page I use as reference. I do not see the number he is referring to. You can use the later ECM in the early cars but not the reverse.

I ordered an ECM from P & G chevy last year, p/n 16163993. I just went to their site, partszoneonline.com, and ran that p/n and it came back NLA. I then did a search of their catalog using 1992 ZR-1 ECM and the catalog says that there is an ECM but it does not give the p/n. I would suggest calling their parts hot line...they were very helpful to me when I bought a replacement ECM for my 90. They tracked the p/n thru a few changes and finally discovered the 90 ECM's were NLA and that the p/n 16163993 was the replacement. I believe they told me that the ECM I was buying was for a later yr ZR-1 but I don't remember which later yr....maybe 92 & up???

Thanks for the info guys.

I found a place online called 1stchevyparts.com that said they had the 16163993 new for $263 shipped. I am trying to order that one. I guess I'll just get a new one.

Well I ordered a new one from a place online, and they said it had a new P/N of 88999186. Does this sound right?

Plus they said it would be 30 days to get it

I ran that p/n at three GM parts sites and it comes back good....but all three sites do not give the "application" for that p/n.

Good luck with this!

I have info from Tom Henry Chevy that the '9186 is "return for re-manufacture", meaning that you return your ECM and 30-days later you can expect a replacement.

Ok. I just sent her an e-mail to see if this is an exchange or not. I do not want to send in my original.

[tomtom72]

I'm sorry for not adding that P & G chevy makes no demand for the core on the ECM's that they sell. My oversite!

Oh - that sucks. I just ordered one to the tune of $427 since I did not hear back from them. I should be getting it today.

I didnt hear back and got tired of waiting so I took the only other offer I got.

Plus I want to get the ECM back to Dandy. I didnt want to keep his this long.

Oh well, live and learn.
