Dead computer

So I was reflashing my 95 LT1 and disconnected the cable while it was erasing the flash memory. Oops. What are some prices I can expect to get the computer reflashed?

Re: Dead computer

I had same problems as u man. Sorry to say, but our computers for the 94 and 95 are un-fixable. If you have ANY kind of error while flashing, its toast.

You need either new PCM chips (2 of them) or a whole new computer. I just bought a new computer from Madz28.com for like 100$ and when i got it, i just pluged it in, car ran like new.

He also has a service for fixing just the PCM chips, or you can buy the chips for like 40$ and put them in yourself (I WOULD NOT ADVISE THIS, its really hard unless you are very good at soldering) Good luck!

Anyother questions?
