Another Casualty

[Gonyou, Jeremy (.)]

Yeah, it was about 90 yesterday.  My ECM is not underhood, but is underdash.  
After work I got in my car and everything fired up fine, but wouldn't run on my socketed memcal.  I tried about a dozen combinations of known good chips and memcals - nothing was conclusive.  I replaced the ECM *and* memcal and everything is fine now...I'm just not %100 sure what happened.
I'll go with the overheating thing for now...

Thanks for the help, guys (and the sandwich jokes).

Jeremy

Bit of incriminating evidence:  I usually leave the memcal cover off for quick prom changes.  This probably didn't help.  Yesterday I put velcro on the cover so I don't have to operate a nut driver to take it off.  Maybe a fan would be a good diy project?

Really hot day there ?? This may sound funny--but pull your ECM and stick it
in the fridge for an hour...and re-install it. If it fires up fine...butter
it, it's toast. Did you sandwich cost $7.30 ??
