RE: [T3] just brought home a project car. And the ECU is missing


Yes, most sane people would just unplug the unit from the harness...I can't
believe some idiot, and I do mean IDIOT, would cut all those wires!

The only junk yards I've been to are the U-Pull-It in Tigard (I believe
there's one on the East side) and some junkyard in south Seattle (where I
got my A/C system).  Dude, good luck finding a junk yard that has a Type
III, and if you find one lemme know! :)  Yer just gonna have to let yer
fingers do the walking.

Just an addendum to Keith's message:  If you switch to a different version
control unit it would be best to use the sensors of the same year.  So,
since you don't want to incur any more expenses I would recommend getting
the same year control box as your car so the sensors will match.  

If you run into problems or need help gimme a ring as I have no
[interesting] life.  I might note that I do own the 1218 fuel injection
tester that I'm dying to use...
