It controls idle mixtures. Go to a wrecker and get a replacement.

yah, until you replace it you can just unscrew it from the bracket it sits on and unplug it from underneath... That's what I did and I was told the ECU would go back to some default setting.

It'll go to a default setting. If your car idles just fine as it is.....then save yourself some bucks.

And Mr NZ......what does your post *DP* mean? That could stand for Donner Pass or Down pipe, or dog **** or ????????? OH! Double Post. Oh well.
