ECU questions

[82 wild bill]

When i was installing my new ts performance chip i unhooked the batteries but didn't tie the terminal back and it made contact as i was installing the chip now i think i fried my ecu my ecu code is apx1 1c3f 12a650-yb and i cant find a ecu is there other ecu's that would work in my truck? If i get a used ecu do i have to have it flashed to my vin and milage and where can i get this done?

Why do you think your pcm is fried? Hopefully you didn't leave the keys in the ignition when you installed the chip, thats what fries the pcm.

the key was in the ignition and now i have no power to the fuel pump and no wait to start light. I checked all the fuses and there all good.

If i buy a reman computer do i have to have it flashed i found a reman ecu for $237

You'll be fine without having it reflashed, but it you want the most current program you'll want to have it done.

Have you tried to pull the chip off the PCM and see if the truck starts?

If you have, find a PMT1 PCM.

You have an E99 truck I'm guessing?
