Hello guys, I found this on Craigslist called the guy up & he said engine has no ECU, is this a good buy or should I back out..

thats pretty low miles... even too low to be taken seriously...

get the VIN from it, and run it up on lexus.com and see what milage they have... also find out when its been pulled out..

With all of those aside, really as long as the engine has compression and looks clean you should be fine. Great deal.

best of luck.

 

Yeah, check the VIN and see what comes up. An ECU you can get at the junkyard for cheap. The mileage could be right, why would the guy lie to ya? pssht Nah really, it looks real clean so it's very posible it has low mileage. $650 is a damn good deal for all that. I would also check most of the sensors, (like TPS,AFM, IACV if you can get to it) the expensive ones, with an ohm meter. Not good if ya need to spend another grand on those. Do a search and you can find all the specs. Did he say why didn't he use it in his LS?

 

90-92 ECUs are plentiful. 93 and 94 not so much. I can count on one hand how many 93-94 LS400s still with ECUs I've seen at the JY after going almost every weekend for 2-3 months. Just something to be aware of.
