Originally posted by Bicycle commuter : It is all in the hands of an older experienced mechanic at the dealership. He spent at least an hour (at $80 per) testing wiring today. He believes the wiring to be good. He is going to put the computer in tomorrow afternoon and we will see. HOPEFULLY it was just the computers time to go.
If the computer fires up and reads something expensive, we are done. I may take JD28 up on his offer to buy it, but you would be responsible to towing it home... With gas prices, etc. we have already paid like $250 in towing over this adventure.
I posted a thread in General looking for suggestions, but that was before I saw JD28's reply. I appreciate your offer of the heads rolling. I have been so mad at them that I am no longer allowed to call them. My wife is dealing with them. I can't say anything to them without it being loaded with sarcasm.
New PCM went in, give the error code of PCM no communication to E4, which we were told is the wiring harness. They are saying $800 for the PCM (which is fried) $1100 for harness and $600+ for harness labor. New PCM has been taken out and returned.
I don't want to be but I am done with our Contour. I can't afford that amount to fix it, and I am just sick of not having a car. I'm not sure, and really don't have anymore time to try and fix it myself. Even though saying that MAKES ME SICK.
Anyone know a place that has OK used, CHEAP cars? haha
PM with an offer if anyone wants it.
It's a 1998 V6 MTX. It has about 120,XXX miles. It was running fine prior to this electrical problems. It is probably due for the UIM/ LIM teardown and clean.
It has a new starter, new Camshaft sensor, new crankshaft sensor, new R16 relay. Others...
It is in North Attleboro, MA near Pride Ford. It would have to be towed to you. I do have the title and 2 keys, but cannot afford to waste anymore $$ towing it places.
MUST SELL - ECM computer new for a 98 V6 mtx + pats
Now trolling in a Red Nissan 4 x 4
