Hi all first post on this forum. I will do a proper introduction shortly.

Ok so 1990 5.0l LX. KOEO I get a continuous memory code of 19, I replaced the ecc with a reman unit, cardone 78-5611 (A9P), and took her for a drive. Ran great definitely had more power. 10 - 15 minutes in the MIL came on again, got home pulled codes and low and behold KOEO 19 again. I know it take about that long for it to go into open loop mode.

Anyway relay tested fine along with the pins at the ECC.

What do these things do when they "dont" have power at the ecc, can this go out sporadically, so small I dont even notice when driving?

Could the relay randomly be kicking off?

Like I said it runs great, what are the symptoms of the ECC being bad other than a code 19?

Also what colors are the wires that give the ECC power, I'm having a brain fart now, i think one is Red, one is Orange black.
 
Code 19 - Engine off - No Vehicle Power (pins 37 + 57) or bad PCM VPWR Diagnosis. This is a wiring problem that is from a bad ECC power relay, bad connection, bad fuse link or a bad computer. The ECC relay is located on top of the computer under the passenger side kick panel. Pull the connector off any fuel injector and measure the voltage on the red wire: if its 12 volts or better, the ECC relay is OK. If the ECC relay is OK, pull the kick panel off and measure the voltage at pins 37 & 57. If it is 12 volts or more, then the computer's diagnostic firmware has taken a dump and is defective.
