Re: What does PCM stand for? (A)
PCM = Powertrain Control - because the computer controls tranny functions as well as engine.
ECM = Engine Control - just engine stuff.
Mid '93 is when the computer started controlling tranny's on Corvette's.
Early vettes have ECM's and later have PCM's.

Re: What does PCM stand for? (Glock'94)
I have also read that late '93 was the time when some 4L60E where installed in vettes and thus would have the PCM. Now if you are into radio control stuff then PCM stands for Pulse Code Modulation. :D
