Where to find an ECM (BPM3) for a '96 1.8lt AT...
 

Hi,

This is for a 1996 Mazda Protege ES 1.8lt AT. I've been browsing Ebay and Googleing for an Engine Control Module (ECM):

DENSO
BPM3A
EGI
BPM3 18 881A
079700-6532

But haven't found it. Any ideas where to look it for?

Ring Mazda.
Ring the wreckers
Google the Part number.

Been there. Done that.

From my search during the weekend, I called numerous junkyards and as soon as I said 1996 they turned me down.

For those who may have the same problem. 96 Mazda Protege came in 4 flavors: 1.5lt and 1.8lt. And for both: Manual, and automatic transmission. So apparently the 1.5 engines came with a Mitsubishi ECM which part number starts with E2T... And 1.8 engines came with a DENSO ECM part number starts with BPM3.

I just called the people of CorkSport.com. They were kind enough to refer me to a junkyard search site (Car-part.com). They even made a search to confirm the availability before writing me back. From a list of 9 possibles, got 4 matches and from those only one could ship. There were 2 from Canada; I didn't know they do not ship electronic to the US. Apparently some law has to do with it.

Well, I got lucky, and finally my ECM is on the mail on its way.

Thank you for share the solution. I had the same issue finding a ecu for 1996 1.8.

Still looking for the ecu.
 

Tried on every search, bpm3 18881a, need help

I foung it
 

Finally I found a old 96 1.8 protege automatic I get de ecu, engine, transmission, and few other parts. I also thing the Kia sephia 96 97 use the same ecu, but not 100% sure.
