Real quick- Finally got around to doing this about 500 miles ago. I wound up jumping the pins inside the ECU case, since I could never verify the wire colors on the harness.

Everything seems to be working. Thanks for your help, everybody.

I believe it reads from the coolant temperature sensor. Hope that helps.

I need to replace this in my '98 as well.

From the outside looking in it appears that the VIN plate is just held in with some sort of pop rivet, is this correct?

Awesome, guys. Totally cool, I'll probably pick up some taps-with-goop from The Shack and do this some time this week. That would give me a little leeway.

The year and type of vehicle (850 or V70) is NOT specified anywhere in the thread you linked. I know, I read through it 5 or 6 times...

It sure seems like it might if you could get it to grip. This is the actual tool referenced...

I've had good luck with 3M General Purpose Adhesive Remover (08987). Comes in an aerosol can and I'm pretty sure most parts stores would carry it.

I think it's mostly toluene and benzene though, so regular old paint thinner might do just as well for less...

I like how they offer a 'chip' for the Triumph Spitfire mk4... a carbureted car from 1970. Nice.
