New Guy Hello / 1992 Suzuki Sidekick Multiple Issues / What to Tackle First?

[fixkick]

super good news
and trans shifts too.
i bet that had the m/T PCB card in the wrong case.
double fix, nice.

OK the snow has melted and it isn't even raining today. My "new" ECU is here as well. I switched out the ECU. The old one was a 59B30. As expected, wrong ECU. I guess I could keep it as an emergency backup ECU to get me home.

I started it up. CEL stayed off. Starts smoother, less...abrupt? 75% less smoke at startup, too. Drove it around the neighborhood, including hills. O/D light stayed off too!

Took it to emissions. Passed! DMV registered and all legit!

I'm stoked to have solved basically 3 of my problems by putting the right ECU in it!!

Thank you to everyone and esp. fixkick for helping out the new guy!
