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

My current theory is I overestimated his intelligence, and he cut it out..
hopefully to have the thing sitting in his house to "protect the
electronics".. or somebody saw it sitting there, stuck their head in there
and saw the thing and took off with it.. Either way, it looks like
whomever it was unplugged the injectors like they were going to take the
wiring out, and then just changed their mind.. in any case, I got a good
$50 worth of functional stuff.. it's just going to take me some time, and
additional money before I can try and start the motor..
