Re: Earlier post

I spoke with Autocomputersupply and the gentleman was very helpful. The TCU failure rate is 100%. I'm aware that he is selling the service .
I'm new at this so today I disconnected my battery and cleaned the contact for my TCU and another controller not the ECU ooopps.
The advisor at Autocomputersupply told me if the TCU was damaged it would be visible he said, "leaky heads on the board".
So tomorrow I will pull the TCU and check the board for damage. I was unaware as a new owner that this was possible. The ECU seems fine no check engine lights,stalls, or rough idle so I'm hoping it's ok. I know for a fact there are a lot of folks buying tranny rebuilds for Mitsubishi cars and I'm sure other manufactures too. I can guarantee alot of people are unaware of the TCU limp mode, bring their car into the shop and get an overhall. I know this isn't new to everyone but it sure is to me. I was quoted 250 for a TCU rebuild I can get a salvage for 155 w/ shipping anybody have experience good or bad salvage/rebuild. My car exhibiting classic symptoms stuck in 3rd and has reverse. Orignally I thought I was in 2nd gear. If all this information is available within the forum I apologize I did attempt to figure things out via past posts.

To be continued...

 

Anyone have any sites to locate replacement TCU, with guarantee of replacement or refund if it does not work?

 

I believe our guy could rebuild your TCU for you. We have no good TCU's in stock for 91-92's.

The TCU's have the same problem the ECU's do. The capacitors on the board leak, causing damage. They can be cleaned and replaced. PM me if you'd like details.

 

Yes, I would like to discuss this further, such as time required and costs. please reply to jonniewalker7@gmail.com

What is the difference between TCU and ECU, or are they one in the same?

 

The TCU is the transmission computer, the ECU is the engine computer. They are two separate computers in these cars.

 

Girly TT were is a good place to send my ECU to get tested cause i did have a bad cap and my buddy replaced and cleaned it but im thinking it messed something else up. dont have much money right now but im thinking this is my problem cause its throwing an injector code well code 41 but everything is working and is in good shape

 

I doubt he repaired it properly, and probably destroyed the ECU... so, you will be out a core ECU. I need the part number off your ECU, I have a few rebuilt ones in stock, and more on the way shortly.
