computer question
Well I finally broke down and took truck to mechanic today. He says the ecu is not talking to the IAC and that it is stating open/closed loop N/A.
He said I needed new computer. I called the dealer and some remanufacterers and was told I would need a computer for the Jeep grand cherokee the engine came out of. I went to junkyard and got used computer for same year jeep grand cherokee and it will start the engine but immediately kills it. Gives code 11. Starts right back up every time but then computer shuts it right back down.
Have any of you experienced this klind of swap between jeep and dakota? If so what was your resolution for computer compatibility?
Do you think a dealer can make either one of these computers work?
Please advise.

Ultimately here is the end result. Neither the mechanics shop across the street nor the dealer nor the remanufacterer of ecu were right.
The jeep ecu has pins different than dakota, for instance the dakota has only 2 injector pins as it feeds the full side of engine at same time while the jeep from 93 has sequential injectors and 8 pins in the ecu.
After trying this crap I found out for myself that the fan clutch was bad and the timing retarded too far. Computer from dakota works fine.
Just goes to show that even the professionals are just winging it when wierd crap comes up.
