[Shotimes] 92 MTX ECM computer needed

[clubairth@bellsouth.net]

Pete:
 Be careful here. It is VERY rare to have a bad PCM. Yes, I blew one up so I 
kind of have some first hand experience with this! Does the PCM have error 
codes that point to this are the just throwing darts? Post the error codes 
and the shop should have them if they did proper troubleshooting. Be sure 
and check the PCM ground. Just ask George why!!!
 You should be able to get a used one for under $100. Check Ebay or post to 
the list.
