Default ECM question, early TPI

is there a difference between #1227165 or #16198259 ???

And what are "they" referring to when they mention 'engine code 8' eight cylinders?

Thanks!
:D

The latter is the new replacement ECM for the 165.

Yeah, same thing really. I have an '86 and it came with the replacement and I also have been using a 165 ECM to try and figure out why its running like garbage

Code 8 is the VIN code for teh 5.7 MPFI engine.. I think the 8th digit of the VIN should be 8

Do not replace with a 165! the upgraded 259 has improved drivers.The 165 in my car went and I replaced with a 259 not a problem since.
