WTB: Stock 1.6 ECU (for manual trans)

I think I have a problem with my stock 1.6 ECU as a result of my BMW VTPS install on my parallel MS (see thread here). Anyone got a manual trans 1.6 ECU (California or not will work) I can buy cheap? Shipping would be to 32259. Let me know!

I have one from my '92 I could sell you for $75 plus shipping and Paypal. Let me know so I can go yank it off the car and shoot it your way.

I may have one I can shoot your way. Stein helped me out with some stuff i needed for free so i will pass that on to someone else. If I have it I will drop it in a flat rate box and send it out to you.

Awesome. Like I said, shoot me your info and I'll get you some money for shipping/handling. I drove home with the TPS disconnected as someone suggested and it definitely helped at part throttle, but my idle was sketchy so I think the ECU is definitely the culprit. I also popped the lid and checked it out and there are some obviously overheated components. Thanks again and let me know if there is anything I can help out with!

Clay,

Looks like rharris already took care of you (he's done the same for me before), but I have one available from a '92 1.6L manual that I will send out for free if anyone else reads this and needs one.
