Alright following this and the other tip I recieved on the location of the ECU, I went out and looked again in the fender.. the extra transmission which I had set in there was right in front of the hole which explains why I missed it.. and found the wire which the ECU used to hook up to, neatly snipped off. So either the PO(whom I'm trying to catch while he's around so that I can get the title, pay him, and grill him on the current location of the ECU) cut it out, or somebody saw the car sitting out there, and took it. Did I overlook something, or shouldn't it have been fairly easy to just remove the whole wiring system rather than just cutting it off? I'm a college student with limited income right now, and between paying off my classes and paying off the squareback I'm left with very little spending money, hence the reason why I was hoping that somebody would tell me I could wander into a wrecking yard and pull the stuff required to switch over to carbs for really cheap, rather than drop $100+ on a ECU(and it seems I need the wiring for the fuel injection also). Jim how much would you want for one of your ECUs? I suppose the best surprise I've had related to the car yet is that my finger which I smashed, is basically back to it's normal color.
