Where to begin. 1998 Chevy Tahoe LS. So I took my Tahoe in for an emissions test a few days ago. They could not "Pass" It or "Fail" it because while it was on a dyno, the ecm would randomly stop communicating with Their Computer. Like as if Someone turned the Key off. But the engine would still run smooth and the transmission would still shift fine. I decided to go to the Junk Yard and pick up a used ECU and install it. Well, I got it working on the truck but, The problem still there. If The truck is sitting Idling It would talk to my scan tool just fine. As soon as I start driving ( up to highway speed) It just randomly stops communicating with my scan tool for no reason. I checked the following
1. Fuses
2. Connections on the ECU
3. Wiring Harnesses
4. wiggled my OBD2 Scan Tool Connection while hooked up, The problem would not present itself
5. screamed a few cuss words
So, If anyone has any Input on this Feel free. Also, I found out I will need to reinstall the Other ECM and have it Reprogramed with the Correct Mileage.
