Does 1986 Chevy truck have a computer?

While 1986 Chevy trucks didn't have the same complex computers as modern vehicles, they did have a basic computer called an Electronic Control Module (ECM). Here's a breakdown:

* ECM: The ECM was a small, dedicated computer responsible for managing the engine's fuel injection, ignition timing, and sometimes other functions. It received inputs from sensors like the engine temperature, throttle position, and oxygen sensor.

* Limited Functionality: Compared to today's sophisticated systems, the ECM in a 1986 Chevy truck was quite basic. It had limited memory and processing power, and couldn't handle complex tasks like anti-lock brakes or traction control.

* No "Computer" in the Modern Sense: While the ECM was a computer in the technical sense, it didn't have an operating system or user interface like a modern PC. It was a specialized unit designed for a single purpose.

So, in short, a 1986 Chevy truck did have a basic computer (ECM), but it wasn't as advanced as the computers found in modern vehicles.
