I had a feeling that we weren't quite done with this '94 Crazy Classic Camry V6...
4 DAYS after the customer picked up the car, it started misfiring and went into LIMP-HOME MODE Again!
This time the owner said that he noticed a BURNING ELECTRICAL SMELL near the Engine Computer.
He opened the cover and found that some of the vintage Electrolytic CAPACITORS left the chat!
He sourced a replacement ECM from Toyota, and sent me the original one to attempt to repair.
Let's channel our inner "Northridge Fix" and solder 6 new capacitors onto this circuit board!
Will the PHAD REFURBISHED ECM actually perform well in the Classic '94 Camry V6?
