NOOOO, they are in perfect condition, but now I can say- does anybody have that rubber think( protection) because I make hole in my-left-trying to remove that thing.

 

Hmmm.....a 98, with a P0601 code. Two forum members called this early in the thread, but for whatever reason, you ignored it. Had you done a search, you would have also found, that a P0601 code is VERY common in 98's, and 99.9% of the time...........is PCM failure.

 

thanks . Im just scared to admit that, looking for some new ideas befor I go to a dealer and spend $400-$600. are you happy with the answer LOL...

 

Have you figured anything out yet? Im still trying to find a TAC. I had my computer checked by east coast supercharging, they said it was good but im begining to wonder if that is the case. Although while I was taking the fender liner off, I did find a dead mouse maybe there is a chewed wire somewhere.............................

 

NO, now Im buying PCM because did't work well with my new TAC....

 

If you need a new PCM and you go to the dealer expect to spend 3-4 TIMES this much!

 

dealer- $303
GMpartshouse- $197+ core $200 = 197+ shipping
1h dealer- $75

thanks

 

Did you actually get it done for this yet or is this YOUR estimate?
Last time I went to a dealer for anything, they wanted $60+ to reprogram the keyfob on my 08' Pontiac (not customer programmable anymore-you need a TECHII to do it). I'd be VERY suprised if you got a ECM replaced for less than a grand at a dealer.

I call a dealer today, and it is PCM...

 

Have you gotten your car fixed yet?

 

I had similar symptoms, a bunch of seemingly unrelated codes.

Since I had no clue, I had the dealer diagnose it, it was the ignition switch.

 

Did you get your car fixed?

 

First of all, sorry for such a long delay. After I fixed my car I went on a month long vacation. And YES! It was the PCM. BUT, I had some problems ordering that PCM. First of all, I ordered that thing from toaht GM guy, Gene Culley and he sent me the part, telling me that it was a new one from the factory. All happy, I sent the part to my dealer and he couldn't program the PCM. At the dealership they told me the PCM is from GMC '99 and it couldn't be programmed. I called Gene and he was very rude with me when I told them that I needed to return the part. He asked a whole bunch of questions and in the end he said "If I don't recieve even one information from you that I asked for, you will never get your money back". I don't know if he was wanting to scare me or something, but I'm sure I will NEVER deal with him again. In the end he promisd to send a shipping label, which I never recieved, but they continued to tell me that they sent it. He even charged me more for the shipping than what he actually paid, almost half. In the end I paid the shipping. In the end, my dealer got the part cheaper than what Gene sold me (which is unbelievable) and I ended up paying labor, computer, PCM, and the rest, $650. I can say that I was happy with my GM dealership in Louisville, KY. Now Ive ended up with and extra TAC sitting in my closet. (anyone want it?) Again, sorry for such a delay.
Thanks,
Tony
