The mopar computer for the 97-99 does not work in my 96

i know the fans arent supposed to work, but it wont even start the car with it in

i know this because i can put my stock one in, and it will start right up, i follow the fsm instructions for swapping pcms, and the car wont start with the mopar computer in

maybe its just my car, but it definately doesnt work in my car

 

Maybe its a bad mopar ecu.

 

Its brand new, and works on my 97 just fine, I only took it out cause that cars getting the tranny swapped this weekend, so when i put the computer back in i wont have to worry about the lockup not engaging

 

Thats interesting....hadn't heard that before. I wonder if later built Mopar PCM's were built to recognize the difference....maybe?

I know its a reach, but who knows.
