if your ecm is bad, first off the car won't start, your fuel pump won't work, no spark, basically everything shuts down
Ok the above can be symptoms of a bad ECM, But that's not the only answer. Your car's Check Engine light will definitely be on. Your car may run like the timing is off, and not get up to speed. Get someone (a mechanic or Auto Zone) to run their code scanner on your car. If it throws out codes that show Ignition Coil A-E failure, CKP and CMP imminent failure, TPS and Pedal Sensor High Circuit, TPS and Pedal Sensor Low Cicuit, MAP and BARO Sensor High and Low. Then you definitely need to get the ECM checked out and replaced. This just happened top a car I worked on and when the ECM was replaced it fixed everything.
ECM means "Engine computer module"
it is controlled by the ecm
I just replaced the ECM and the code went away. I was not able to read any of the sensors on the engine with the scan tool. Once the ECM was replaced, everything was OK>
There is no individual fuse. The ECM has 2 or 3 fuses, and it controls the check engine light.There is no individual fuse. The ECM has 2 or 3 fuses, and it controls the check engine light.
the little six pin blue connecter under the left side of the dash
its three screws. and threw plugs
Can i replace an '01 intrepid 3.2L engine (blown) with a '02 intrepid 3.5L engine if i use the '01 wiring harnass on the 3.5L? Both engines look identicle for the most part, only difference is the plug to the ECM.
it means , there is a malfunction in the circuit related to cam position sensor.that means part, plugs, and wiring and possible ECM also mean ECM is not getting a signal from cam sensor resulting no start.
yep but you need to take motor mounts and ecm and wiring
No.
It is behind the drivers side headlight, right next to the fuse box. The name for it is engine ECM. There will be another box directly behind the headlight, that is the transmission control module, or TCM. Check out dodgeintrepid.net for tons of info on these cars.
where is the ECM located on my 2000 Jimmy? where is the ECM located on my 2000 Jimmy?
