How do you delete the electronic control module on a jeep wrangler 88?

You can't just "delete" the Electronic Control Module (ECM) – also sometimes called the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) – on a 1988 Jeep Wrangler. A 1988 Wrangler doesn't have a sophisticated computer system like modern vehicles. It likely has a very basic, if any, electronic control module for things like ignition timing, fuel delivery (if fuel injection, otherwise it's entirely mechanical), or possibly some rudimentary emissions controls. There's no central computer in the same sense as later vehicles.

Attempting to remove what little electronic control it *might* have would likely severely damage the vehicle's functionality and could make it impossible to operate. The engine's operation would be dramatically affected, and you might cause significant electrical problems in the process.

If you're having trouble with your 1988 Jeep Wrangler's electrical system or engine, you should:

* Identify the specific problem: What exactly isn't working? This will help you diagnose the issue.

* Consult a repair manual: A Haynes or Chilton manual for your year and model Wrangler will be invaluable for understanding the vehicle's systems and troubleshooting problems.

* Seek professional help: Take it to a mechanic experienced with older vehicles. They'll have the knowledge and tools to diagnose and repair the problem properly without causing more damage.

In short, there's nothing to "delete." The system is far too simple for that concept to apply. Focus on identifying and fixing the specific malfunction instead.
