90 eclipse 1.8L 5-speed
found out the capacitor leaked and fried the surrounding parts. so now the car just cranks and doesnt fire a tall. i just bought the car and it drove alright the past couple days but i noticed the CEL was intermittently on and when it was on the car would studder like it'll misfire and sometimes stall while driving.
my question is, what can i do about the ecu? replace it with another 1gen ecu that has the same specs as mine, 1.8L/5-speed from '90-93 or just '90 year specific? is there a vendor or place where i can try to get the ecu repaired or swapped for a working condition ecu for my car year? please elt me know. need the car to drive!!
thanks!!
