In the ongoing debate surrounding foreign vs. domestic vehicles, opinions are as diverse as the cars themselves. And when it comes to auto parts, those opinions are no different. Some people maintain that US-made vehicles are built with planned obsolescence in mind, making them wear out faster. Other people say that foreign cars don’t last as long because they were designed for smaller roads and less wear and tear.
Every modern vehicle has an Engine Control Unit (ECU). Its job is to coordinate and manage the engine’s various complex systems. A faulty ECU can cause rough running and poor gas mileage and will eventually prevent your car from working at all.
This ECU buyer’s guide will cover everything you need to know. From common issues to diagnosis and replacement we have it all here. We’ll cover topics like:
