Before condemning your ECM, always perform a thorough check of your battery, alternator, and all primary ground connections (engine block to chassis, battery to chassis). A weak battery or a corroded ground wire can cause voltage drops and erratic behavior that often mimics the symptoms of a failed ECM. A few minutes with a multimeter can save you time and money.
