If it can fit in a backpack, not much

The new ones on order along with an o2 sensor and associated wiring harness.
If this is a viable option? It's gonna have to be a wintertime project. I've spent so much time learning this system I can't start from scratch now.
Unfortunately the Computer is as temperamental as a newborn baby.
But Cora has mastered the art of covering it with a raincoat when out wheeling.

the GM ecus don't seem to give a fuck about mud, weather, temp, welding, or anything else... I'd be getting rid of that thing if it's that easy to burn out and needs a raincoat, too. booo.

GM TBI computers you cant power wash like the LS stuff now.... but they are pretty resistant and dont care about welding. 


that alone would be the reason i would toss it.

Hey no worries you guys have definitely convinced me of at least GM TBI let alone GM drivetrain altogether.
This project had sentimental attachment.
Next one = race car

Throttle Position sensor was the issue.
Testing showed it was telling ecu that we are wide open throttle. All better now.
So now I have a spare ecu and a spare TPS.
Should be good for a while. :/
