After I swapped out my early 93 ECU over a year ago all has been well. I like to keep as many small Toyota parts in the truck as possible. Starter contacts and plunger, fusible links, fuses, relays, bolts, brake pads, hub studs and nuts, bearings, etc.
Crazy is right! I missed it by a few hours
Snow line here in SoCal came down low last night. We got a fresh dusting on Mt Wilson and its neighbors visible on my commute in this morning. Makes me want to go play rather than sitting in my office.
My new ECU seems like a slow learner. My old one would take about 50 miles and 4 restarts before it could idle properly, I'm now at 125 miles and a dozen restarts and it's finally idling over 5K. Having to left foot brake and ride the gas for days after each battery disconnect is one of the most frustrating things about my car. I'd hoped that might improve with the new ECU, but it gotten even worse. I'm relieved that it'll idle without dying now, but it still isn't where I'd like it to be. So it goes, I guess. At least I'm not throwing codes.
