Well, I dont know if it will help, but Gene over at landautodismantling.com posted a c220 ECM on Ebay - he has it set at 199.00 or best offer - Id say offer him 150, he might take it- then you wil know if yours is bad - might be worth a try.

heres the link:

I've heard of Guys buying them off of e-bay and swapping them out. Have you tried starting the car with the MAF unhooked? It should run in default mode unplugged. You probably toasted your original one with the wiring problem.

Good Luck!:thumbsup:

C as in 220

GOOD POINT CJ!!! check to see if it will run with the MAF unplugged first!:thumbsup:
