No, the two PCM'* are not compatible with each other.

im sorry, but im not 100% sure what you plan on doing here. but personally, i wouldnt put the effort in using the 95 ser 2 in the 92 car, if thats what you are wanting to do.

what problems are yoou having with the 92? (that is the good car right?)

ECM & PCM both refer to the computer. ECM (Engine Control Module) was used before the transmission was electronic. Once the computer started controlling the trnsmission it became PCM (Powertrain Control Module)

If you need a computer, let me know. I have a 1993-spec computer that I no longer have a use for

if the only problem is the pcm, then i would just look for a new one. (or used rather). i'm sure Brad, (sandrock) will give you a good deal.

maybe just part out the 95. bc you can't ust the 95 pcm, and eng, w/o changing the wiring to the pcm in ur 92.

Even with a replacement PCM, unless it'* the eprom socket that is an issue, you'll need an eprom specific to your year, engine, and trans (final drive) ratio.
