DEAR ROLAND,
THANKS FOR HELP SO FAR,FOUND OUT THAT THE ENGINE MODULE IS BAD IN OUR LEBARON. WOULD YOU KNOW THE OEM NUMBER FOR THIS PART SO WE CAN START LOCATING ONE?

Answer
Hi Diane,
The '88 parts manual shows the part number for the single module engine controller (SMEC) to be 5233 982 for the 2.2L turbo with automatic transmission. With manual trans it is 986; and if the car was first sold in California the numbers are 984 and 254 respectively for automatic and manual trans. Good luck on your search.

Expertise

I specialize in Chrysler/Dodge/Plymouth cars, minivans, and SUV's for the model years 1982-2008 based upon my 50-year DIY experience, factory shop manuals and wiring diagrams. I offer fast repair advice to help you minimize repair costs by helping you diagnose and do it yourself. Problems with electronically controlled engines and transmissions as well as body wiring problems are my specialty.

I take questions one at a time between 8am and 10pm CT and attempt to answer within 20 minutes. "Maxed Out" means I am answering another question of otherwise busy, so try again later.

There are answers on file to more than sixteen thousand Chrysler questions at your finger tips: put a few key words in the "find" box (above) or click on "view past answers" for a chronological list of my q and a's. Don't use "Add to this answer" if you still have a question...ask it. As to trucks and jeeps I only have manuals for the '04-'06 model years.
