I am having engine problems with my 1990 GT 5.0. I took it to a electrical shop where the mechanic diagnosed the problem as being the ECU/Computer. He advised me that I can go to junk yard and get another one as long as the numbers matched. I went to pick-a-part and they told me to get a computer out of a car of the same year with the same characteristics. They printed me out a paper with similar ID #'s that I can pick from (I attached a copy of that paper to this post). I bought one and the mechanic told me that he needed to program coding to computer in order for it to work with my car. Please take a look at the video and tell me if any of you think the problem would be my ECU. My question is does the computer need programming? Can I program it myself since the mechanic wants to charge me $145? Or could the problem be a relay or the fuel pump? Take a look at the video and any advice would be greatly appreciated.
