Electronic Controller Module if teh full name if im not mistaken... this computer hold everything as in how your engine gets it gas and ignition and when.

basicly it controlls how your engine runs.

ECM is the Electronic Control Module, which is also called the ECU or the Electronic Comtrol Unit.

This is the car's computer which is usually located under the passanger side front seat.
This controls timing, fuel pressure, the fuel injectors, and most everything else that relates to engine management.

ECM = Electronic Chinchilla Motor

My car has about 600 of these little beasts running around in little cage wheels under my seat!!

When I press down on the accelerator pedal it zaps them and makes them run faster (thus making the car accelerate)

Soon I'm going to hook them up with some steriods and it will feel like I have a turbocharger :roll:

So you measure your car in chinchilla power and not horse power? lol I wonder how many chinchillas would be equal to 1 horse power.... damn your car must be slow...

I went to a museum in elementary school and they had a chinchilla that they let us pet, those little beasts are like 95% fur and 5% body parts. However, if angered, I'm sure you can get them to make your car haul ass.
