Greetings, new member here.
I have a 1997 TJ that I bought new in January of 1997. It now has about 125,000 miles and has always been a great and dependable vehicle.
The other day I tried to start it and I noticed the the CEL did not come on when I turned the key but instead the Check Gauges light came on. The vehicle cranks but will not start. I called a friend that was a Jeep mechanic that worked at the dealership back then and he concludes the ECM is bad. Turning the key does not energize the power down relay and the ignition switch is good. Tried unplugging the the crank sensor and still no CEL. The scanner does not communicate. It is possible to energize the relay by applying 12v to the wire that the PCM uses for that function. Anyway, I'm having trouble finding an ECM for my Jeep. Anyone have any recommendations on where i might find one?
