Gad. I'd get much farther in my explorations if I got the part number right, eh? Hmmf. Nevertheless, I found some tech poop on the 7700 series, and I'm all hot to trot to diassemble this code. Question to all: Are there any sites/bbs/covens who are tinkering with this breed of ECU (older legacies)?
