Hello, you're limited on readable data for a 1991, what is the part number for the working ECM? We can look it up and see what the differences are. I assume it's from a 91' as well. The wiring diagrams from that far back are very basic, but
You can start by checking some sensor readings if you have a multimeter, make sure that the Oxygen sensor voltage is not stuck lean, (low voltage), that will send the ECM into a rich strategy. The Oxygen sensor looks to be a 1 wire sensor, so with the vehicle up to operating temperature, take a voltage reading while its plugged in.
Does the Instrument Cluster have a temperature gauge? The Coolant temperature sensor will send the engine rich, vacuum leaks, bad Cat. Are you getting a lot of smoke out the back, how did you determine the rich running condition?
The MAP sensor voltage at idle should be in the lower range, around 2 volts, which will be with high manifold vacuum, as you open the throttle manifold vacuum will drop so the MAP sensor voltage should go up, if you suspect a clogged Catalytic Converter, you can do a back pressure test.
The wiring diagrams only show a one wire Oxygen sensor, but they can be incorrect sometimes, if there are more than 1 or 2 wires, then it is a heated oxygen sensor, and you'll want to make sure that the heater circuit is functioning, or the sensor will be very slow to respond. So, check the exhaust manifolds for any sensors, if none they check farther down the exhaust. We can have you test it right at its connector to begin with. I will post what there is for wiring diagrams and you can let me know if they look correct, GM kept everything pretty much the same back then.
It looks like the MAP voltage at Key On engine off should be more like 3.5 volts at sea level. This old of a vehicle will have an analog MAP sensor it looks like.
Smoke testing the Intake manifold will reveal any vacuum leaking areas, I'm sure this truck will have multiple vacuum leaks. Lines start to fall apart when they age. You can also hook a vacuum gauge up to the intake manifold and see what the vacuum is at idle.
If you're planning on junking the ECM with no injector pulse, I'll take a look at it and see if its repairable. Just something I do on the side, if I can fix it I'll send it back to you.
