ECU Upgrade?
I have been having some problems with my 95' Cherokee where it will randomly die. It will die on the highway 
and in the driveway.. My lights, radio, and everything else STILL work and its just the engine that completely dies. My buddy and I think we've traced it to the ECU..which we think is malfunctioning..but we aren't completely sure which is why it is at my mechanics. If the ECU is at fault, would there be a upgrade that is worth it, if there is a upgrade at all? Or would I be better off going oem?

I would go OEM. If you have a stock motor, I dont know if they even make an ECU upgrade? Other then one you have to program yourself using base maps and stuff....kinda like a megasquirt setup for a turbo, or supercharger.
