ECU Questions --- I'm so confused. 200

Your thinking is kinda in line with mine. I think a federal 561 or 951 would work and I don't think it would even set a check engine light. The Federal ECU units are not looking for the EGR valve so they shouldn't even know it's there. Now I do believe that if you used a 556 California ECU in a Federal car you would get a check engine light because the ECU would think the EGR valve was bad ---- does that make any sense? The EGR valve on mine almost looks like an after thought, as if it was just added to a normal 240 and they changed the ECU. But I could be wrong.

Thanks for your help.
