I have got another question for you regarding PCM's. I have aquired both 96 and 97 PCM pin out diagrams. The only difference in them is the locations of injector #3 & #4(locations 7 and 16) and the Idle air control valve pins #2 and #3 (locations 48 and 49). If I was to de-pin these at the PCM connector and relocate them into the 97 positions according to the pin-out is there any reason i could not use the 97 PCM instead of another crappy,problematic 96 PCM?

I just got copies of 96 and 97 PCM pin-outs from the Chrysler factory service manuals. To my surprise they are eactly the same right down to the wire color and circuit abbreviations. You dont have to switch anything around at all it all matches up with no descrepancies. So why wouldnt a 1997 PCM work in a 1996 as long as its engine and tranny are the same? Has anyone in here tried to swap a 97 PCM into a 96? I would think that as long as the donor car had the same or more options than the receipiant everything should be alright, what do you think?
 

SO would you know why they call my 5269811 a 96 only ecu and the 5293014ac a 97 only ecu?

All right Im going to try it. I'll keep you guys posted as to the outcome of my hybrid engine management experiment. It will be about a week beofre I'll have any news. Wish me luck!
