Date: August 8, 2003
SUBJECT: Slight Engine Mis-Fire Above 5200 rpm
OVERVIEW: This bulletin involves replacing the Powertrain Control Module (PCM).
MODELS: 2003 (PT) Chrysler PT Cruiser
NOTE: This bulletin applies to vehicles built prior to January 22, 2003 (MDH0122xx) equipped with a 2.4L Turbo engine and manual transmission or prior to March 18, 2003 (MDH 0318xx) for vehicles equipped with a 2.4L Turbo engine and automatic transmission.
SYMPTOM/CONDITION: Vehicle operator may describe a random or slight engine mis-fire when operating vehicle above 5200 rpm. There will be no DTC logged in the PCM. If there are DTCs present additional diagnosis should be done to determine the problem. This condition is caused by a internal hardware issue in the PCM.

The above TSB is missing the most important text, which is; Diagnosis " The repair should only be performed if the vehicle operator describes OR the technician experiences the symptom/condition".
Nothing in the bulletin requires the technician to verify the complaint!
The actual bulletin says you can not reproduce it without DC permission so I will not post it and was asked not to post it, sorry. But, it says nothing about quoting it. All the forums who have this TSB listed are all missing this quote, interesting.
