I got a 1996 3.4 supercharged tacoma 5 speed.everyone tells me i need to go buy the 1997 ecu but everywhere i call give me a different parts number.does anyone have the part number to the ecu i need??or better yet does anyone have one for sale near louisiana??

Have you tried calling the Toyota dealership? If anyone knows the right part number it's them!

That's because there are 2 part numbers. One for VZN160 models(w/5VZ-FE, 5 speed MTM, Regular cab), and one for VZN170 models(w/5VZ-FE, 5 speed MTM, Extra cab)

Those are A1 Cardone part numbers, not Toyota OE.

With a VIN I can look up the part in the toyota parts catalog and you can get the correct cardone part.

bigcat. do not waste your time and money on a 97 ecu. you NEED to replace your knock sensor first.
