ok, i had a guy i know put the ty on a computer thing he has. since the ty died on my last week. we put in my vin number and plug the computer thing in and started reading what the computer was saying.

i trust this guy, hes done this kind of stuff for about 25 years so he knows what hes talking about. well on the ty my timing was way off, and he said my o2 sensor was reading really weird numbers. like its supposed to read in a certain range and mine was going past the range. also my coolent sensor is junk , but the ty dosent overheat. i mean is dosent heat up at all.

so he says i need a new coolent sensor, which is no big deal. also a he says my ecm is junk. he suggested i get a new ecm from gm cause it has new "programs" or something like that, i really cant remember.

how much do new ecm cost?
he said maybe a couple hundred bucks ($150-$200)

is it worth it? he didnt use a junk computer thing. it was a snap on brand .

so what do you guys think?

Re: new ecm???

If your timing is off by alot make sure you didnt spin your balancer. As for the ecu...usually they dont just crap out on you. When they do its usually a result of some other problem with the truck. Thats my :2cents: Maybe someone with more knowlege on ecu stuff can chime in too.
