Got a Ski I'm working on that I'm pretty sure the ECM is fried. Is it possible to find a used ECM with the same part number and plug and play? Or will they be required to be programmed/married to the engine, or how does one go about that?
Its a 2004 4tec GTX, non supercharged.
P.S. Reason I believe it is fried is that the cluster is completely non-operable. But when I put the key on the post it did nothing at all, no beeps. So when I removed the seat there was smoke just pouring out. I immediately started unplugging the coil packs as one was extremely hot. Did so and it stopped. The coil pack actually melted in half and came apart. 5 min later it was at a temperature over 200* F. Also noticed the idle valve was operable with nothing going on in the ski. Unplug and plug it back in and it would automatically operate as well as getting extremely hot. The start/stop circuit immediately blows the fuse as soon as you put another one in.
All of these things link back to the ECM. Some also go to the MPEM, but some ONLY go to the ECM which is why Im deciding that the ECM is at fault. Have already checked grounds, batter cables etc.
