umm, let me know what it turns out to be, the 92 im working on is doing the same thing, however I think its the ECU… so: by chance when you swapped ECU’s did you forget to disconnect the battery? If you didnt disconnect the battery to swap ECU’s then you shorted out the ECU when you plugged it in. ---
