I might be mistaken, but I seem to remember the ECM being a problem on your year. If that'* the case get a new one from a salvage yard. Billboost should be able to answer that.

Do you know what years would work with my car and do I need one from a SC version? Do I just plug in the eprom into the new one and put it into my car after taking it out? Thanks

see the letters on the right, the one that was in my car was "BCCF" and the one i baut was a "BCFN". when i pluged it in it sounded like a SC versoin would sound if the supercharger belt had snapped. I went to a junkyard and found one that was "BCCF" and its still workin fine
