These EEC are getting old and can go bad. I have two spares and had to use one last week. I got a check engine light and the codes all pointed to the ignition or EECV. I had just replaced plugs, wires, coils, and the cam sensor was new 5,000 miles ago....................I replaced the computer, the codes are gone and thought I should do a little research on them to see what goes bad and if we can fix them.
I opened-up one of my EECV's and the capacitors are a different style as is the layout. The EECIV capacitors are known to go bad and high impedance grounds can effect it. However, I can see no visible signs of damage or leakage in the different style caps in the EECV. I also do not know if the grounding problem applies as much to the EECV as the EECIV. I have yet to check the grounds.
