Sorry, im not stupid, just not informed
Hey all, got my 84 GSL-se not to long ago and have been tryin to restore it and keep her running. Now that shes getting to be decent i was considering getting a new ECU. I dont know exactaly what the pros and cons of getting a new one are. CAn you tell me wat exactaly it does, and what u like or dislike about aftermarket ones, and also maybe suggest one and give a few reasons along with a price and locationi can buy it. Thanks
I'm assuming you're talking about an aftermarket ECU?
If so, there are many choices available - I always recommend a tuner that is local to you as getting support is the #1 problem with these things.  Having someone local to you really keeps the frustration levels down with encountering problems - and trust me, you will run into problems.
Aftermarket ECU's allow you to adjust fuel delivery and ignition timing to suit your needs.  Now, with that said and done, the downside is that adjusting these parameters incorrectly will quickly reward you with a blown engine - I'd highly recommend reading up modern fuel injection system.
