Empire Automotive Electronics stocks OEM engine computers for domestic, Asian and European vehicles. Depending on the manufacturer and the model year, the very same part is sold under several names: ECM (engine control module), ECU (engine control unit), PCM (powertrain control module), PCU (powertrain control unit), electronic control module, engine computer, or simply the "engine brain". They all describe the computer that controls fuel delivery, ignition timing, emissions and idle on your vehicle.
How to order the correct engine computer
- Match the OEM part number first. Year, make and model alone are rarely enough. Two identical-looking vans built the same year can use different calibrations.
- Check the engine size and transmission type. A 4.6L and a 5.4L, or an automatic and a manual, usually take different modules.
- Have your VIN ready. If your module needs to be programmed to your vehicle, we use the VIN to flash it before it ships.
