ironmike4134 Posted October 10, 2011 Author Share Posted October 10, 2011 Does anyone know the part number or where it is located? When I open it up I just see a bunch of "gel" covering a computer board Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Jim_McNally Posted October 10, 2011 Share Posted October 10, 2011 Not sure on the SBEC (I've only got '89s) but there should be a separate CA emissions sticker near the driver's side hood hinge by the windshield - at least that's where mine is...Jim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill Reichert Posted October 11, 2011 Share Posted October 11, 2011 In your previous posts you said you replaced the entire distributor. Was it a reman or new mopar. Some off brand heps are bad even when brand new. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ironmike4134 Posted October 24, 2011 Author Share Posted October 24, 2011 I have been trying to find the part (thanks Pizzaman for the number)... still no luck. I have ordered from 3 different places now (including autozone) and find out several days to a week later that it is no longer stocked... anyone have any suggestions where to find these...? See some in ebay but for a newyorker 3.8... says it's compatiable but just dont trust it... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ironmike4134 Posted October 24, 2011 Author Share Posted October 24, 2011 I found a company that rebuilds them... ASE... they say they are familiar with them and what goes wrong with them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NTX5467 Posted October 25, 2011 Share Posted October 25, 2011 (edited) The "gel" you see on the circuit board is "potting compound", which is an anti-corrosion sealant coating. NOT "user serviceable".If the car has California emissions, there should be either a separate tag (as mentioned) OR it's on the basic emissions system decal itself . . . in a size of lettering that is easily visible.In many cases, even for GM vehicles, there are no "reman" units in stock anywhere (rather than as we might expect). The auto supplies and such can take your unit and send it to a reman facility (which might well be the ASE place you found). They'll repair YOUR unit, or a like core they might have, then return the computer to you. Turn-around time can be up to two weeks. Doesn't matter if you use AutoZone, OReilly's, RockAuto, or whomever, they'll just collect your unit and send it off.If you've replaced the distributor, what driveability issues are stil there??? Are you using a factory Chrysler manual for troubleshooting/diagnostics??? Or just "chunking parts" at it?On some Chrysler products, replacement computers need to be "flashed" so they know which vehicle they are in. I'm not sure if your TC is that way or not. "Flashing" of the computer is a dealership operation, as I understand it.Just curious,NTX5467 Edited October 25, 2011 by NTX5467 (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ironmike4134 Posted October 30, 2011 Author Share Posted October 30, 2011 Thanks NTX5467... sent the computer off for repairs... the found some capacitors leaking and replaced them.. yes you would need to reflash.. but since I used my exising one I think I get away from that (also gave them mileage and vin values). I did get a new code 11 when I put in the fixed SBEC... points to IGN Reference Signal (Distributor). I did replace this already, but with an autozone one... so maybe it just is not up to par... trying that next, return my new distributor and get another one.
