swapping Computers?
 
I have an 88 5.0 with an aod and maf with a code 19, I was wondering what computers can I put in my car and which ones are the best to use.

I don't know what code that is, but I've always heard A9L is best for either auto/5-speed??

19 (o): Failure of PCM voltage regulator. Replace PCM.

another vote for A9L.

Glad you guys know about this computer stuff. If my check engine light comes on, we're in a WORLD of hurt! LOL

I always wondered why it is called the check engine light. You know the last time I checked, the engine was still there.

I thought the A9L was only for 5 speed cars. Is this not true?

BINGO! If you install an A9L, you'll fry it. Your best options are:

8LF
A9P
A9T
C3W

If you are hell bent on installing a A9L, make sure you clip the wire going to pin #30, otherwise you'll fry it.

FYI: It's real name is the Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL). :)
