My mechanic said thus is what it is. He cannot find one and neither can I. This is my only car so I cannot send it off. I've also call one that is local who works on them, and he doesn't do 92Call around or ask local mechanics who knows how to diagnose. And then fix capacitors. I had a guy work on my car and he knew enough to check my computer. Replaced 3 capacitors thats all I know. You can find them online rebuilt on Google.
Mechanic said so, it's been left to me as he could not find one that would fit. This is my only car so I can not pull mineWhy do you suspect it is going out?
it's likley the tech doesnt know how to trouble shoot these cars and just got it out of his way by saying it needs an ecu. most new techs would probably not wanna touch our cars. I'm curious to hear what the issue is as well.I would like to see a list of codes or troubleshooting steps that point to the EEC as the issue.
Although it does happen, it's rather uncommon for an A9L to partially work. If there are specific symptoms that point to the EEC as being at fault, those symptoms might make the repair of the unit a pretty simple affair.

Right! I'll bet the op's issues are something we have all dealt with and been admittedly frustrated by and hes jut being blown off because the guy cant figure out a surging idle or my car just dies once hot problem...Isn't that how troubleshooting is done these days?
Rather than open up that ECU or trans and spend hours diagnosing and repairing, easier to just say "Yup, you need a new trans, that will be $4500 installed" and hand the bill to the customer.
That 2-3 hours tracing down a burnt cap would better be used doing bread and butter brake jobs and easy stuff.
Yes I'm in SC and go to a mustang shop. All he can come up with is newer models. That's why I'm trying.I had a mechanic put my distributor on backwards and change wires on the cap. The same guy told me my car was a four cylinder because of the four lugs. The guy did not put the vacuum line on under the intake then told me I had a cam because of the way it ran. The large vac line was off. He did not know anything about the fox yet argued with me that he was right. I go to a Mustang shop now thats who opened my computer box, and knew what burns up. I see your from S.C. ask around for a Mustang shop there is one somewhere.

If you do come to the conclusion you need a ECU, I have an A3M (93 Mass Air 5 Speed ECU, comparable to the A9L) that I will sell for a good price. Was working fine when I pulled it in October 2019. It did have a chip installed on it so the J9 port cover is removed.
