I just installed a "428" '90 ECU into my manual trans "87 and am very impressed in the supposed 6 horsepower increase. At 3rd gear it pulls noticeably harder. My fuel gage previously stuck past Full now works. $55 well spent.

ok, found a 1990 on craigslist and its an automatic
please confirm if this is right.. (only the ...428 model will work in my 88xj auto?)
i have an 88xj automatic so i want the ecu from the 90 also automatic with model number ending in 428 ??
429 is manual transmission and that one wont work in my 88xj auto ?
the guy is asking 80$
i just dont want to spend 80$ on an ecu that doesnt work cause i didnt verify the numbers

Cruiser: Any reason you say to remove the 10MM nuts to pull the ECU with the mounting plate? I found it way easier to take the two small screws out of the plate and drop the ECU without removing the plate.
Also, I'm in need of an ECU for a manual trans 4.0 (dead injector driver) if someone has an '89 or '90 ECU to sell.

YOURS HAS LIKELY BEEN REMOVED BEFORE. sHOULD have been 3 screws that way with the third one being an absolute *****.
Buttstripe here on cF likely has an eCU for you.
