Default Spiked PCM

So far the trouble with the car seems to be a spiked PCM--could have been a faulty PCM as this one only has about 1800 miles on it--the damn thing made the car think it was overheating so it shut down in the middle of nowhere, it kept ticking in high gear apparently because every thing was off and it drained a top of the line Nascar Battery (few months old) overnight--it will not communicate with the car at all---now I am back in line with my car at the dealer to put a new one in put in the stock programming so I can pull it out and overnight it to Mike Norris so he can flash my current program in and overnight it back, then back in line so they can put it in and see if they find a cause for the spike--this damn car just want give me a fkg break there is nothing that is not new on the car other than the frame and a few of the body panels and some interior stuff, my concern is will it spike the new PCM and here we go again, can you even imagine having to rewire this gd thing it has a lead to every nut and bolt on it--I can only hope it was just a faulty PCM and this will cure it, now a 200 towing fee, labor to check it out, labor to put in the new one flash it then take it back out, overnight charges both ways and then labor to put it back in and check it out--it never ends does it---any similar situations where the PCM quit for no apparent reason--

Damn Bill :sad: What is "spiked PCM"? Does it have to do with values LS1Edit made to the programming?

Check the NASCAR battery, some of them are 16 volts.

Keith apparently either it was defective or an elec pulse shot through it or something and wiped it out--then it is good for a core for a new 220 one--
