Re: pcm trouble
plug and play...............
however i do like to drive the car around for a bit at different speeds and and listen to the motor under accel..makin sure the speedo reads correctly,if you have an auto make sure it locks up the way it should as well as shifts

Re: pcm trouble
Tools you will need: 10mm and 8mm(I think) socket, extension, ratchet and standard screwdriver.
Use the 10mm socket on the 2 screws holding down the PCM. Pull it out from behind the shock tower and pop out the 4 red clips(dont worry if you lose one). Then just pull the 4 harness plugs off the PCM and its free... the screwdriver will help out a little on that step. Next youll need to reuse the black pastic case/bracket and I think the size of those screws are 7 or 8mm. Now when reinstalling the harness they are referenced by color so you cant mix them up and then just reverse the steps.

Re: pcm trouble
k i plug the pcm it and my idle was kinda fluctuating.i idle at 1000 but it was slowly going from 1000 2 almost 800.the engin sounded lik it was bogging out also.not badly but car did almos die.it basicly did but kept it self going.also the fans seemed 2 b runing a lil harder.i have a chip 2 mak fans run sooner also.

Re: pcm trouble
Who adjusted your PCM, you never mentioned that? When I first installed my tuned PCM, it did a little hiccup where the idle dropped down around 800rpm and it felt like it was almost going to die at a stoplight. After that, nothing like that has occured. I remember the tuner said that it does take a little while for the PCM to adjust itself.
