using the wrong ecm they are very case sensitive .... i learned the hard way with my bronco ... bought a used one out of another bronco .... same motor different tranny ... the used ecm didnt see my overdrive... if you got yours used make sure everything about the donor car is the same as yours.... if you got it new you could probably punch the part # in online and verify its the correct one for your car ( but get the number off the ecm itself not the box )

How do you determine the actual mileage beyond 100000 miles on a 1985 Fifth Avenue when you don't know how many times the odometer has wrapped around?

You can not. The mileage has exceeded the mechanical limits of the odometer. You can look at wear on the brake pedal. That is usually a good indicator of high mileage, but it is not definitive. Brake pedals can be replaced. You can check for repair records in the car as well. These sometimes have mileage recorded.

How do you know when to change the timing belt?

The manufacture lists the mileage at which the timing belt must be replaced. On vehicles that have an interference engine if the belt breaks you will have serious internal engine damage. The mileage at which it must be changed varies from 60,000 to 110,000 miles. As you did not list your make, model, year, or engine size I can give you no definitive answer. Look in your owners manual.
