I have a PCM from a 95 5.7 LT1 16188051 with a burned capacitor. I am looking for someone who has a junk or at least opened PCM who could tell me the size of the capacitor as mine is completely blackened. I am just looking for the numbers on this device. This is the disk shaped capacitor between the black and red connectors, there are 2 side by side the one I need is closest to the black connector. I have a picture if needed.
Thanks

Reason: typo
Update: I did find out this component is a MOV (surge suppressor) between Battery + and sensor ground, black connector pins 15 & 16. So the specs aren't critical, I just need to get the correct voltage rating, I am guessing 15 to 20 volts. I removed it and now the resistance from pin 15 to 16 is over 1K instead of 6ohms, so I am hoping this is my only issue. I will update as soon as I get a new one installed.

Re: 95 LT1 PCM internals
You are right....EE here ;-) I would wonder what caused the surge suppressor to fail. Bad alternator voltage regulator? The suppressor was obviously shorted.
