Told I need a new PCM
I tried looking in the library but couldn't find the answer. I Just got a call today from the dealer that they check engine cannot be fixed without replaceing PCM. I have a 2004 (Original owner) with 62K miles all stock. Has anyone gotten it replaced and know why they fail? More importantly I noticed people talking about 2009+ generation Rx-8 are different. Will the new computer be of this type and more importantly have they remedied the problem so in another 60K it wont happen again. Thanks.

Well the good news was the dealer told me it was covered under the emmisions warranty! :-) I was just curious if the new one is an update late model one or specific to '09 or earlier cars. I intend to keep this a long time so I'm trying to be prepared for the future. Also wouldn't a used one be suseptiple to the same problem? I know a LOT of questions.

09 or Series 2 PCM's do not fit 2004-2008...period.
BTW they are ALSO VIN Specific.
