Will im back to work today so i don't have much free time until sat. But i will be eliminating the c101 before i grab a 90 ecu. I will give a report back asap. Maybe ill get the itch and knock it out on a lunch break. I get a hr lunch so even if i don't get it all at lunch it'll only take a few mins to finish up after

LOL. JK.
The Renix Jeeps had the ECU mounted under the dash up and to the right of the gas pedal. When they went to a PCM in 1991, they were located in the engine bay.
I'm looking forward to your report back after replacing the ECU. Did you see my ****-poor pic of the easy way to remove it?

haha i did, had to zoom out 200% to make it clear. It's just mounted by two bolts? I can see about replacing it next week. Then c101 delete in two weeks.

2 nuts hold the bracket to the dash mount. That's where you wanna remove it from. Swap the bracket to the "new" ECU by removing 3 bolts.
