Default eprom

I picked up a couple different proms from the boneyard, from the same year Bonneville as mine, I disconnected the battery and changed the prom, but the car will only start for a sacond then die, if I put the old prom back in it starts fine, should I replace the whole computer?

Or for that matter the computer. Are you having problems? Normally, the computer would be swapped out, and the eprom from your computer is moved to the replacement.

I'd get a second opinion on that... a rough idle can be caused by so many things...

well it'* got new plugs, wires, had the ICM checked, and the only code coming up is #22 TPS low voltage, was a different code, High volyage, and I took it off and put it back on, and now it'* low voltage ! I didn't think the TPS would make the car run ruff sometimes, and being told that there was a problem with the computer, I thought that I would change the prom or the computer to se if that helped ?

Yeah if you replaced the TPS, it has to be calibrated. Between .39 and .42 Volts.
