So, I popped open the ECU on my new Galant Vr4 (which was having some funny lean issues) and I found some ECU problems. Only it was not the capacitors that regularly go. I've successfully replaced those capacitors before on another ecu.
As you can see from the pictures, it is that black thing(s). So, I have an extra 91 GSX (though automatic) ECU with bad caps laying around. Could I just pull those of it it and replace the ones on the gvr4 ecu? I figure I will socket the eprom while I am doing all this. Anyway, I just wanted to get opinions on replacing that part. Again, I've done caps before and other computer soldering, I'm mainly just wanting confirmation that it would be compatible.
On a second note, I've tracked down a few places that repair ecu's, but I am uncertain if they would repair that part, or what they'd charge.
Anyway, I appreciate the help.
