'94 troubles - ecu?
After 10 years of care free ownership, I finally ran into some problems this week. It first started with loosing the speedometer accompanied with a real high idle (2500 rpm). The next day almost no idle and frequent stalling after start up or at stop. Also would not start a couple of times but after waiting a few would start again. Still no speedo. Of course the check engine light is on but can't retrieve the code(*) due to the hybrid obd i/ii nonsense.
So I researched this site and others and seems the ECU might be the culprit so found a cheap used one on ebay. While I am waiting for it to arrive thought I would ask if anyone had other thoughts or suggestions. Also when the ECU arrives will I need to install the eprom from my old unit into the replacement? I assume I access to eprom through the cover on the back portion of the ECU?
Thanks in advance

With the Acess Pannel removed you will need to swap out your factory EPROM from you old PCM into the new one..

Thanks much, the picture really helps. Should be a quick change out once I get the replacement. Hope that resolves the problem. Aside from the master cylinder and a couple of broken rear brake springs this has been one of the most sound cars I have ever owned (I have had my share).
Thanks again
Thanks again

The 94-95'* were hard on PCM'*... GM only used this PCM for the 94-95 Model years in the C & H body as well as the U Body Minivan... I am on #3 at 154,000 miles, my 95 SE has been a reliable car for what I have put it through
