ECU on early 98 T/A I have an early production 98' Trans Am that has problems with the controller.
I have known that the 98' in the odd duck, but have since found out that there are three variations of controllers in the 98' production cars, mine being the earliest and most rare. Can the controller be swapped out for a better choice without serious mods to the harness? A faulty AC Delco electric fuel pump replacement had an internal short and damaged the ECU. Any opptions that I have would be appreciated.

There were several different calibrations used in the 98 model year but the PCM hardware was all the same. Any of the different calibrations can be programmed into the same service # PCM. And you wouldn't be able to tell the difference between any of them as long as the transmission type and rear gear ratio matched what is in your car.

If it's dead and you plan on modding the car or doing any amount of tuning. Then install the 411 pcm repin the harness and flash the pcm for a 2002 F- car with a auto or stick whatever your car is. 02 flash gives the car the latest hardware and software updates GM offers then you can use HP tuners etc to do all the programming. You'll need to have the tuner tinker with fuel gauge calibrations to get it reading correctly
Don't waste your time with POS handheld canned tune tuners they are crap take the car and get a custom dyno tune done and it will run the best in the long run
