Used A9l Computer - What To Do With

[7991LXnSHO]

What do I do with the A9L that supposedly was not sending heated power to one O2 sensor? Is there a place that repairs them? Is there a place that wants cores? Do I get it fixed so I have a computer to tune for my eventual 347? Do I toss it? Thanks for the info.

That was super fast, thank you!! The cost of repair is no more than the used one. I'll print out their info and put it with my old one for now.

There is a guy on the corral that buys them for $50, working or not. I'm sure he repairs them and then probably e-bays them but $50 is $50. He paypal'ed me my $50 before I even sent him my broken one. He goes by mustangssp

That guy on the corral had it figured out to the exact cent that I got $50 after pay pal fees and shipping

Whatever you do, hold on to it. When I locate these for customers, Mustang Specialties has them on lock down!! They want $250+ shipping for them.

I can't believe how much A9Ls go for these days! There was a time not too long ago when they fell out of the sky for $100 a pop, and I thought that was expensive. They've doubled since then.

I wonder how hard it would be to replicate the circuit board, burn a factory tune to it, and sell a "reproduction" A9L...

Why even bother when there's so many stand-alone systems out?

People seem to be hooked on the A9L/EEC-IV. It's not like it's all that inferior, you can tune it for what 99% of people need/want.

I still use one. Probably will until it dies or I do.

I just saw (through Jegs?) Granatelli has a $90 core program and a SRP of $404.38. $224 repaired by AES with overnight shipping, $174 with regular shipping, sounds like a steal.

Troofs! It wasn't that long ago that you pick them up for $50 a pieces. I think those days are gone. I hold on to them now.. working or not.

Think how many cars were scrapped with those still in them!!! And how many other parts went out with em! In Michigan, rust free parts are like GOLD. All these cars here are nasty.

It made me sick when I saw fox bodies turned in for CASH FOR CLUNKERS too. ike:

Makes me sick. Hopefully this got parted out.

When we got Cash 4 Clunkers here in our yard....we could keep them for 9 months...at the end of 9 months...it got extended another 3 or 6 months I believe. He sold TONS of parts of these so none of them here went to total waste. But I know some yards that got these sent them right to the crusher and saved NOTHING.

I can't watch.

I know man. I see where they're coming from...to them...it's just an old car that they got a few grand for so whatever. I look at it from being a hobbiest and from a business perspective. There is A LOT of money to be made parting those out, or simply doing some restoration work and flipping them.
