PCM burnt up, repair options?
So I am a new member and new owner, bought a 2004 rx-8 with 126,000 miles. Problem is it sat for a few months and then when the old owner decided to drive it again it had issues starting. Was getting fuel and air but had a weak spark on lead coil #1. He took that as the eccentric shaft position sensor being bad. He then attempted 'jumping' the sensor which ended up burning up the PCM board past repair. When I got it home I found that the original problem he had was that, due to it sitting, mice had chewed wires, mainly a wire on the sensor and one on the #1 coil.
So I have solved all of the cars problems and now I just need to figure out what all is necessary to change the PCM, such as what other parts are absolutely necessary. Thank you sorry for the essay here. |
Well, first, you're going to need a new PCM.
Second, you're going to need the dealer to "mate" it to the rest of the modules in the car. Just dropping a new PCM in the mix is like having a stranger show up at the family reunion and claim to be Uncle Dean. Nobody is going to believe him the car won't work. https://www.rx8club.com/series-i-tec...mation-151287/ |
Thank you, and that's what I needed to know. Had to make sure I didn't need to replace the ecu, immobilizer, and rechip keys along with it.
