Is Your Chevrolet Spark Running Rough?
If you’re experiencing frustrating issues like a persistent check engine light, stalling, poor fuel economy, or a no-start condition, a failing Engine Control Module (ECM) is a likely culprit. The ECM is the central computer of your vehicle, managing everything from fuel injection and ignition timing to transmission shifting. When it fails, the performance and reliability of your car can be severely compromised. This isn’t just an inconvenience; it’s a critical component failure that needs immediate attention. Don’t let a faulty module keep you off the road. Our pre-programmed 2013 Spark ECM is the reliable, straightforward solution to restore your vehicle’s original performance.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is this ECM ready to install right out of the box?
Yes! We program the module to the VIN you provide during checkout. In most cases, it is a plug-and-play installation. Some vehicles may require a simple security relearn procedure, which can be done without special tools and instructions can be provided.
How do I provide my VIN?
After you complete your purchase, you will need to send us your 17-digit VIN. You can typically find this on your vehicle’s registration, insurance card, or on the driver’s side of the dashboard visible through the windshield.
What happens if I provide the wrong VIN?
Providing the correct VIN is critical. An incorrect VIN will result in the wrong software being loaded, and the vehicle will not start. Please double-check the VIN before sending it to us to avoid any delays or issues.
Will this fix my car’s problem for certain?
This module will resolve any issues directly caused by a faulty ECM. However, it’s essential to ensure your vehicle has been properly diagnosed. This part will not fix problems related to other faulty components like sensors, wiring, or mechanical issues.
Do I need to return my old ECM?
No core charge is required for this part. You do not need to send your old, faulty module back to us.
