That's what I am trying to figure out. The only way, would be to maybe pick one up from a salvage yard. Do you have a Autozone where you are at? If so, you could limp the car there and see of their scanner will pull anything up. (just to verify your scanner is working correctly)

i guess the eec controls the MAF... pretty much all the induction and fuel systems in the engine itself right?

yeah i have tried all the major auto part stores, and even afew auto shops that offered free daignostics.... and NO TING it is still driveable, but it hurts... everytime the damn thing jumps... as long as i keep it below about 2 grand when it is cold it wont do much, but when i cross the 2 grand mark... it cuts out really bad, all the way across the range, and wont push much past 3500 at all... until it warms to about 210... then i turn the high fan and let it cool back to 190 and it runs OKAY

you dont mean ecu do you? is there a diff between the ecu and the ecc?
and if it was, do you think it would cause other problems besides just the problems i am facing?

Damn dude, this is interesting. So everybody's scanners are unable to 'connect' to the EEC? Its got to be bad or one of the external grounds is unhooked at the EEC. Take your pass side kick panel off and make sure their are no loose grounds.

EEC, ECU, PCM, etc they are represent the car computer.

Sounds like you have a chip, I do believe if you have a aftermarket chip in the computer then you will not be able to read codes.
