Used Computers for 96 OBW (manual)

[Sweden]

Does anyone have suggestions on where to find a used computer (ECU) for a 96 Legacy Outback (manual trans)? It's the one under the pass. side floor. I don't have the exact number on me currently, but I remember that the big number on it was 8D. I've tried e-bay now for a few weeks and I haven't come up with a match. Any suggestions are welcome: bone yards, etc.

 

This is for a U.S. version Subie. My mechanic here in Sweden thinks this might be a problem of the car periodically not starting (after it has been driven only 5-10 minutes). I know it is a electrical problem because I hooked an extra plug wire up when it wasn't starting and got no spark. We think it might be the computer because I had another (incorrect) alternator in the vehicle this summer, which caused pulsing of the engine and electrical system; it was installed for about 2 months. I started having the starting problem during the last month of having the wrong alternator installed. Japanese & U.S. versions have different set points where the alternators kick in according to my aflternator parts supplier.

 

Otherwise I am open to any other suggestions of what might be up.

 

I found the numbers on the unit:

 

DAO 8D

then a upc code

8D (these are big)

22611 AC270

on the bottom in two boxes: JA18000DAO 5907

 

Thanks beforehand!
