Hello, newbie here....I am trying to help out an older man who is the principal at the DOD School here in Bahrain. Not very many helpful or trust worthy techs around here. Anyway here's the problem.
1998 GTP 3.8L SC / 127555miles. He says his wife was driving one day and it just died. He took it to a local shop and they said it was the ecu. He ordered a refurbished unit from the states. While waiting for the ecu, the garage says they hooked-up a '97 vette ecu just to see if they could get it to run???, they say it ran, but ran rough because of the settings in the vette ecu. ok, so the refurbished ecu arrived and they installed it. they told him the car still would not start. he called the shop in NJ where he ordred the ecu and they ask for the car info /miles/year/vin so on....and told him to send it back and they would reflash it. well it's back and still no go....any ideas? Thanks!
