- Poor Fuel Economy: A sudden and unexplained drop in your vehicle’s gas mileage.

Expert Diagnostic Tip
From over 20 years in the garage, I’ve seen countless vehicle owners spend hundreds of dollars replacing perfectly good sensors (like O2 or crankshaft position sensors) only to find the root cause was the ECM itself. A failing computer can send false signals, making other components appear faulty. Before you continue chasing electrical gremlins, consider the source. A faulty ECM is often the hidden culprit behind a cascade of confusing error codes and persistent drivability problems.

How do I know for sure that my ECM is the problem?
While the symptoms listed above are strong indicators, a definitive diagnosis is always best.
