Product Details

Cardone’s Engine Control Module line focuses on restoring OE-level operation through reverse engineering and component-level correction of known failure points. For this application, the 79-7612 is remanufactured at Cardone’s Philadelphia facility, where key electrical connections are renewed and each unit is tested before release. This part cross-references Dodge 4439094 and 5227612 for the same application.

Fits 1987 Dodge Charger, N/A. Fits 1987 Plymouth Expo, N/A. Fits 1987 Plymouth Turismo, N/A. The part number 79-7612 is also referenced in Chrysler PCM/ECM service discussions where factory programming and vehicle-specific verification are important.

Common Issues This ECM Can Address

• No-start condition related to engine control module failure
• Intermittent spark control or ignition control problems
• Driveability issues caused by damaged internal ECM circuitry
• Faults traced to worn solder joints or failed electronic components
• Replacement needs after confirming power, ground, and wiring integrity

Installation Notes

Before replacing the original ECM, verify the root cause of the failure. Check power feeds, grounds, wiring harness condition, and related relays or solenoids, since these issues can damage the replacement unit if left unresolved. Confirm the engineering ID and connector match before installation, and follow OE service procedures for any vehicle-specific programming or reset steps.

Quality Assurance

Each Cardone remanufactured ECM is computer tested and built to meet or exceed OE performance expectations for the listed application. The remanufacturing process also reduces raw material and energy use compared with producing a new part, supporting a more resource-efficient repair. The Cardone 79-7612 is intended to deliver reliable electronic control for the specified Dodge and Plymouth fitments.
