TSB my bill to pay after warranty...PCM flashed

[66CUDA]

Cruising along in my '06 base PT and the check engine light comes on then she starts bucking! Pulled over checked the fluids and connectios and all is well. I restart her, CEL is still lit and drive 50 feet when she starts bucking again. I call Chrysler and get her towed to a Chrysler Dealership. (1 hour tow wait) I thought it was the tranny gone bad....service rep. said it was the Champ. dbl. plat. plugs I put in....verdict......tsb for pcm to be flashed had to be performed. Warranty covered the bill. But the question which I forgot to ask was if my warranty had ran out would a TSB repair have cost me money because it is not a recall???

Thx, 66CUDA

I use Bosch dbl plats in my wife's '04 and car runs great.

The TSB is a Technical Service Bulletin for the maintenance of item to be fixed by the mechanics. Not covered by the warranty it only advises the mechanics the newest/easiest/best way to fix/correct something that was found to be at fault but not on a recall.

Like the TSB to gap the plugs at .040in vice what they originally had at .050in. They found that the smaller gap was better for idle and other problems.
