Is Your 2002 Dodge Intrepid Running Rough?
If your Dodge Intrepid, Chrysler Concorde, or 300M is experiencing frustrating issues like stalling, erratic idling, poor fuel economy, or a persistent Check Engine Light, a failing Engine Control Module (ECM) is often the culprit. The ECM is the brain of your vehicle’s engine, managing critical functions like fuel injection, ignition timing, and emissions. When it fails, the symptoms can range from annoying to debilitating, leaving you stranded. This replacement engine computer is the definitive solution to restore your vehicle’s performance and reliability.
We had a 2002 Dodge Intrepid R/T come into the shop that had its owner completely stumped. The car would start fine cold, but after 15 minutes of driving, it would start to misfire, hesitate, and eventually stall at stoplights. The owner had already replaced the spark plugs, ignition coils, and even the crankshaft position sensor with no luck. After connecting our diagnostic scanner, we noticed erratic data from multiple sensors, but the sensors themselves tested fine. This pointed directly to the central processing unit – the ECM. The internal circuits were failing under heat. We installed one of our pre-programmed units, and the car ran perfectly. The customer was thrilled to have his powerful R/T back on the road without a costly trip to the dealership for programming.
Common Symptoms of a Failing ECM
- ✔ Check Engine Light is on with various, often inconsistent, trouble codes.
- ✔ Engine stalling or shutting off unexpectedly while driving.
- ✔ Noticeable decrease in fuel efficiency.
- ✔ Rough or erratic engine idling.
- ✔ Misfires, hesitation, or stumbling during acceleration.
- ✔ Difficulty starting the engine or a complete no-start condition.
- ✔ Transmission shifting problems or harsh shifts.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is this engine computer really “Plug and Play”?
Yes. We program the unit with your vehicle’s specific VIN and mileage before it ships. This means it will work with your existing keys and security system without any additional programming required from a dealer or locksmith. Simply install it, connect the battery, and start your car.
Where do I provide my VIN?
You can provide your VIN during the checkout process. There will be a field to enter the information. Please double-check it for accuracy, as the programming is based entirely on the VIN you provide.
Where is the ECM located on my 2002 Intrepid?
The Engine Control Module is located in the left-hand (driver’s side) front of the engine compartment. It’s typically a silver metal box with three large electrical connectors. Always disconnect the vehicle’s battery before attempting to remove or install the ECM.
Will this fix my transmission problems?
In many Chrysler vehicles of this era, the ECM also contains the logic for the transmission control. If your shifting problems are electronic and related to a faulty computer, this part can resolve those issues. However, it will not fix mechanical problems within the transmission itself.
What if I order the wrong part?
We encourage you to verify your original part number and match it to our compatibility list. If you are unsure, please contact our support team with your VIN before ordering, and we will be happy to confirm the correct part for your vehicle.
