Cop Tzer, what makes it so certain what the root cause is?
Who's to say it's the PCM? After reading all the nightmareish
problems that people on this forum have had with dealerships
across the country. It's gone as far as DC buying back one persons car because they couldn't figure out the problem. That's pretty bad when you produce a product and then have no idea as to how to fix it when it breaks. Sounds as if some of these people haven't a clue as to what's going on.
If I went to turn a light on in my house and it didn't come on,
I would check the bulb before looking at the electrical circuit
in the house.
It's a well known fact that supercharged and turbo charged engines perform better with a cold plug. All I'm saying is why not start with something a litte more practical and work your way
towards the more complicated side?
Their solution may be the correct one, maybe not. You evidently
know how to use a computer, have you ever had to call a tech line for help? The first thing most of those guys want to do is wipe everything from your machine and reprogram it. Most of the time it was something simple to begin with.
I'd rather try the simplest fix before I allow them to start reprograming everything. The less the dealership has to do with my car the better. I have 5600 trouble free miles and have not been back since I bought it. Hopefully I can keep it that way. Everyone has to do what they feel best. Happy Crusin' Phil
