I am currently working on a 1998 Lancer CE GLI (Coupe). The ECU or ECM needs to be replaced; the car has installed an ECU model MD 336612 to manage the engine 4G15.
I may be finding difficult to find an exact same model in the used car parts market, so I am thinking in some kind of upgrading it. I think it will be nice if anyone with experience with ECUs in this forum could give some opinion on what other model could be installed in this car from other cars of the same period/years like Mirage, Lancers, Colt, Evo, etc with the same engine 4G15. This car is from 1998, up to what year model of the mentioned cars a replacement ECU could be installed? I would assume that later models should have better engine management program in the ECUs.
My idea is to know various models from the above cars with an ECU that could manage this engine (4G15) and I also would like to find an ECU that has the same connections (4 of them) and taking signals from the same sensors currently installed in the car.
At this moment, I wouldn’t like to work with the wiring and connecting new connectors to install a different ECU model. I just would like to find an ECU with same dimensions so I could install it in the same bracket/connection.
Thanks to everyone for inputs with this.
