Detailed Description

Cardone Part Number 79-7597 is an engine control module designed for Chrysler-era applications that require a remanufactured ECM with OE-style fit and operation. It is listed for 1991 Dodge Shadow and 1991 Plymouth Sundance models with Federal Emission System, and it cross-references OE numbers 4557597, 4686588, and 5285477. This part number is also identified as a direct replacement for the same application family, making it a practical choice when replacing a failed factory module.

Cardone remanufactures these control modules by reverse engineering failure points, then correcting known weaknesses through re-soldering or replacement of critical internal components. Each unit is tested with computer equipment or bench-tested depending on application, helping confirm proper operation before installation. Cardone 79-7597 is a remanufactured ECM for Dodge Shadow and Plymouth Sundance owners who need a factory-style electronic control solution without flash programming.

What It Can Help Resolve

  • Engine no-start conditions caused by a failed ECM
  • Intermittent drivability problems tied to control module faults
  • Check engine concerns related to electronic module failure
  • Communication or control issues from damaged internal circuitry
  • Replacement needs after diagnosing the original module as the fault source

Installation Notes and Tips

  • Fits 1991 Dodge Shadow, N/A, with Federal Emission System and OE # 4557597, 4686588, 5285477.
  • Fits 1991 Plymouth Sundance, N/A, with Federal Emission System and OE # 4557597, 4686588, 5285477.
