Hey guys i have a question. I'm going to be buying an 1988 LX 5.0 only problem is the guy said he needed an "Engine Control Module". The guy said he already talk shucks and told me it cost about 60 dollars for it. Just wanted to know how hard it is to install and if it really cost about 60 dollars for it? Thanks

a used one is about 60 dollars. I have a 95 and it is located in the passanger kick panel and only one screw holding it to the car and one for the plug....

well what he said is when your driving it it shuts off all of a sudden. He said it was the control module

the ecm would be the brain... and that is the same problem that I am having. But I am also looking at replacing the wiring harness

ok that's the ignition module...on dis....my msd did that to me when my ground wire was too close to a hot wire..

so over all its a pretty easy fix right? I dont need to tear off an arm and a leg to do it. Probably like 15-20 mins worth of work? Also, with the car it as the 1990 gt body kit on it except for the front bumper. Do you just know where i might be able to pick on up at and for how much?

well why the hell did you say pass kick panel then?....that's where the ecm is...

yeah it's easy...just have to modify a tapered socked....grind on it...sockets don't fit in the hole.

actually sockets do fit in there.. i did it to my car already. its a 1/4 inch drive 5mm socket.
