Hey- just got an exasperated phone call from a buddy looking for an ECM computer for a 1993, part number 88999216.
Any help?

I have heard but cannot get confirmation on this from GM rep but I've heard that all the reman's were built using a defective part and all have been recalled. As I said I can't get GM to confirm this though.

I talked to my contact today, they said GM has them scheduled for release 12/4/06. It was never confirmed or denied this problem existed but they should be available in a couple months.
I have to have mine replaced under warranty again. So I'm just waiting for stock too.

and some members think that just because they've been subscribing to this forum for several years that it makes them better or more knowledgeable than someone who started a year or even a month ago. Some people may be here 10 years or more and still may not know jack. I've had high performace cars for 30 years but just decided to get a C4 2 years ago. Right now I have an E55 AMG as a Family car because there is no American 4 door with really exceptional performance and luxury, so my C4 is just a toy. Some folks just need to chill out and get a grip on themselves. We're all here for the enjoyment of owning this troublesome but fun and classy all American vehicle. It's kind of like having a "bad" girlfriend., you know she's not good for you but she sure is fun to be with PS: Good luck to vettebuyer finding an ECM.
