So All Ye Members who have replaced your PCM please chime in and let the other members know that you had a successful replacement of this component and your ride is whole again. Please decribe you experience.
Some members seem to want some assurance that the problem could actually be repaired.
The boys and girls at "AutoComputerExchange" say their bad rap is because
quite a few people misdiagnose their problem and the replaement PCM doesn't fix their problem. Persons will order the wrong PCM which very often causes a complete no start "period" when the vehicle used to start most of the time.
Their Examples: Need a new Body Control Module instead
Need new Trnasmiision Control Module (Electrics go wild ,tranny in LIMP mode
Intermittent Fuel pump
Instrument Cluster Fault
Camshaft position/angle sensor
Crankshaft position/angle sensor fault
Bad battery
Wiring harnesses broken or corroded etc. etc.
They are quite sensitive about this issue and persons yelling on the phone seem to get really bad service. If you are trying to troubleshoot your electronics on board and have no idea what these components do and you're impatient, it's probably a good idea to get some professional help. If you have a reputable service center do your repair and they say it's fixed then if they have not corrected the problem they will most likely stand behind their work and get to the bottom of the problem. I don't know any good mechanic that hasn't taken a loss on one of his repairs due to unforseen circumtances.
In an all makes service garage opening up some of the old rides is a real can of worms.
