I’m looking for help finding a SBEC engine control module for our 1989 Shelby CSX. Part number 4516837.
Have you thought about just socketing another SBEC and burning a chip with the 89 CSX cal on it? Are you certain the SBEC is bad?
We’ve had the car since it was new. When it was 7 years old I had to replace the engine control module. This spring it died just as it had 23 years ago. At that time I could purchase a module from the dealer. Just replace and drive. I checked with the Dodge dealer and there are not modules on their system. I did a nation wide junk yard search with no luck. Shelby America was no help. NAPA sent the engine control module to Cardone and they returned it an said the couldn’t repair it. I need to know where to either have mine refurbished or get a new none programmed module. Also I need to find someone to burn the program to the chip. I do not know how to do that. I see that Turbo-Mopar has the zip file on the website.
I could burn you a chip. That's the easy part. I would try FWD or TU for an SBEC, or perhaps someone has one that's already socketed for sale. The guys have a new flash module, so you may want to look into having a flushable unit made up for you. That would offer a lot of flexibility for the future.
Cordes, I’m not familiar with your abbreviations FWD and TU. To me FWD is four wheel or front wheel drive. So please fill me in. Thanks. Don Klepel
fwdperformance.com and turbosunleashed.com They're both vendors for our cars. They might have something on hand. Otherwise, and perhaps even then, I would strongly consider a flashable SBEC.
Chromguy, I’ll keep you in mind. When I figure out what I need to do, I’ll get back to you.

Thanks cordes, FWDperformance may have the engine control module I need. Don Klepel
A '90 vnt sbec would work, if you can find one.
here it is in the 89 part book

FWD had an engine control module for the CSX. Thanks cordes. PS the part number for the 1989 Shelby CSX is 4516837. Not sure where the 04549811 comes from.

Glad to hear you got one. Thanks for the update.
