Hello all...

 

This question will probably scream loud and clear just how un-mechanical I am, but I am going to swap the ECU out of a 88 DL for use in another Subie, and the mechanic told me just to unscrew it, located near the steering wheel....

 

I think I have discovered its location, but does anyone have any general advice on doing this?

 

Is it that cut and dried, just open the panel and unscrew?

 

Any advice would be helpful and relieve the stress of doing this probably very easy task.

 

Thanks all,

ok step by step sorta

...open panel

remove mounting things for ecu

disconnect the plugs on the ecu

put new ecu in place

recconect plugs

re attach ecu

put panel back on

start car

and drive away

 

thats is if it all works

Maybe its a no brainer, but I would probably stick disconnect battery in front of all those directions

ahh cmon.. where is your sense of adventure??

but yeah. all i can say is.. DOH!!!

Thanks everyone, that does help to boast my confidence about doing it. I was also thinking that yes indeed disconnecting at the battery first was a good idea.

 

Thanks again, chat ya later,

Banuru
