Hey, I didn't install it. $1200 to ressurect my car from the dead is well worth it to me. Especially in September Texas heat.

You can jump terminals on the DLC1 or the DLC2 and use a voltmeter on all of the problems you are likely to encounter. This car is OBD1 and you will not get the data you may be expecting like on an OBD2 car. In my original post I outlined how to check the O2 sensors and you should do that! Its possible the O2 reading portion of your ECU was bad but, I have not seen one fail like that. The capacitors fail on the ECU and leak a brown acidic type of fluid onto the circuit board and this fluid is also conductive. Usually the failure is on the ECT Temp sensor leg or the TPS leg. Sometimes the fluid will bridge the injector drivers and cause an injector to dump fuel all the time. Code 25 will take a bit of time to come back but if it does, check the O2's. Or, you could just check them now!
That sound like my problem ,I thought my car was running on 4 cylinders cause it was leaking gas from under the car by the cats. I check all my plugs and i got spark from all ,and I'm not getting a code. Do that sound like the Ecu?
