After total loss of vehicle (my dads' truck), I had no choice but to repair the truck I had bought as a donor to rebuild to new condition my dads' truck. It needed transmission, which I bought a re-manufactured one. Installed, filled with ATF+4, adjusted TV cable. It hits all gears and torque converter lock up. After it has run, somewhat poorly, for twenty minutes or so, it stalls. Try to restart no power to coil. Usually leave it sit over night, it busts right off, still runs somewhat poorly, but another twenty minutes and I have to restart next day. Found that if I wiggle harness near EMC that it will at least fire once or twice, but until the next day, will not run. Has left me stranded two times. Every indication is that the ECM is bad. I believe that, especially, after I removed the cover on it and found clear silicone has replaced the jell that came factory in a couple places. However, I have tried everything to get the harness connector out of the terminal for the ECM. The bolt turns but never releases the connector to replace the ECM. I have gently tried to pry against connector while turning bolt, but that thing refuses to release the harness connector. While I have not cracked or damaged the connector itself, I have broken a plastic receptacle for the cover for the harness connector. Any advice for me short of junkyard connector and cutting all those wires?
