On my way to work yesterday, my computer failed. Now the car searches between 1 and 2 grand. I've lost a ecu in the past during startup but never during normal driving. I'm just curious if anyone has clues. My grounds all seem fine. Ecu relay is new. If I slap another one in, it might go another 5 years but the problem would be unsolved. Maybe it's time for mega squirt.... Thanks

I have never had anything close to a 5yr life expectancy of an ECU. They seem to last forever as long as they don't get wet or shorted.
Searching between 1-2k rpm seems more like a large vacuum leak. -
Agreed- the things are pretty tough. What leads you to diagnose it as dead?
tnow, sometimes I just mess with people. It's more entertaining that way. george gravesComment

If you have a 153 two board DME, swap it for a 173. The 153s are a lot more prone to failure.2006 GMC Sierra 2500HD 4WD LBZ/Allison
