no real way to test except to change out. know anyone with a 88 to 96 tbi full size? then borrow theirs to take a short run with it installed

if it runs with the ecu in then change just the prom chip
if the problem goes away then you need a new prom

your welcome let me know how it comes out

btw if you are going to mods like shift kit, bigger exhaust, etc
then
look at getting a jet prom to help with those mods
