1992 ecm/bcm
having major troubles with 1992 corvette, wont start, not the chip on key mechanic thought it was ecm, replaced that wasnt that! now trying the bcm which is real rare for these to go, lookslike the ecm but behind the stereo. finally located bcm from dealership, but the real problem is finding a tech 1 computer to reprogram it. is my mechanic giving me a line of poopie or 1992 bcm are the only corvettes that use a tech 1 to reprogram? hes had car for 2 months. im not sure this is even the problem! car had power just nothing to starter, had alot of wierd things electrically going on before it wouldnt start at all, but need some insight on this tech 1 computer program? thanks

Well if nobody has done it, Welcome to the forum :hurray:
I'd like to suggest you purchasing a Helms Service Manual set for your Vette. Book two has a section that can lead you through starting problems. It has a good electrical diagram that you can follow and check on your Vette.
The first thing I'd like to know is are you getting power to the starting system when you turn the key on, or is the "key on/start" circuit alive--the pink wires in the engine compartment-- with the key on?

Re: 1992 ecm/bcm (Strick)
The computer is to program the miles into it. I believe you have a hundred miles with it before it gets locked in. As to locating one, a GM dealership should have one. Call all the ones in your area, one of them had better have one. But, you can put it in and try it out as long as you keep it within that 100 miles.
