Maybe if a soldering iron is too technically advanced for you, or yours was submerged under water.

I think you mean ECU, which controls all engine functions like fuel and spark. The CPU is for the indicators, horn, reminder beepers and things like that.

What is the year and trim of your RX-7? I think I saw you on other forums. If memory serves me right, you own Sentra, RSX, Si, and Integra. Now RX-7?

Ok, unusual question! Unless it’s toasted, they can generally be repaired. Why do you ask? Are you having problems?
