01 pt cruiser pcm

[denab]

Can anyone tell me the size and thread of the screws/bolts that hold the PCM and the 2 wires to the driver fender what size? Thannks

I know the head is 10 mm not sure of the the thread, if i remember right they are fine thread but dont know the size. Myself i just go to the junk yard and get replacements.

For the PCM the threads are a thread forming type - fairly coarse. Think of sheet metal screws but not pointed. Can't tell you the diameter.

Okay thanks for the info. After installing 2 pcms (no start at all throwing codes) I put my original one back in. Pt is running better than ever. It is so quiet that I keep thinking it is stalling at stops! So what is up with that? I could not believe that I was quoted over $800 for replacement. I did it myself and replaced my
fan. took me less than 3 hours (1st time I worked on a car) and the next time it took me 20 minutes! waiting for the next bomb to drop!!
Thanks all for help!

Where did you buy your PCM's from that didn't work?

Problem might have been coil/plugs all the time along with battery terminals.
