You will need a 05 Vette pcm if you are going to go with fuel injection. Will cost you about $100!

It depends on the type of throttle actuation you'll be using as some (2003+) do not have the IAC drivers.

I believe that an '05 OEM V (Serv. #12589462, Hdw. #12589161) ecm has the drivers and will work for either application. They are also found pretty common usage in 2003+ Yukons, Suburbans, and Savanna/Express vans.

Another Savanna/Express ecm, Serv. #12576106, Hdw. #12570558 also has the IAC drivers for a cable throttle.

The very common 12200411 ecm will also work in both applications.

There's a thread on here somewhere about converting dbw harnesses to cable configuration that has all the info you'll need.

Not to jack, but has anyone by chance compiled a list of which PCMs are compatible with which harnesses and what PCMs have what functions?
