Any Metro owners out there?

Post by Saved »

I can't find a Metro manual anywhere, save hard copies. I bought an '02 Metro for $125 - 5.8k miles. Doesn't run at the moment due to my fuel pump acting up. At any rate, it was in pieces when I got it and I have no idea where the ECM bolts up. I've also found an extra connector (1 wire, green w/ yellow dashes and I think a black stripe) right near the battery connectors. Not sure if this does anything or not.

Any advice would be peachy.

I owned a met II for a little while.

The ECU is under the headlamp plastic on that one.

Met II, the slowest of the Mets. Go to TotalRuckus.com and they have the mods you need to get it faster.

I don't have a Met II. I have a Met I.

I don't see how the ECM goes under the headlamp assembly as the wiring won't reach. I'm talking about this: Image (too lazy to crop one)

Sorry. I'm just jealous. I want a Met, also.

Anyway, I found where the ECM goes. Right above the battery.

Now all I need is to get it running... :/
