    Sources for buying PCM

    PCM on my car is causing issues. It starts and runs fine on cold (especially now, in the winter), but as the engine heats up engine starts to stall. Slight knock on PCM also shuts the engine. Pre-heating it up to about 40C/104F causes intermittent no crank and frequent stalls. Overall PCM seems...

    Issues with PCM and PATS

Around 3 years ago while crossing a pool of rather deep water (slightly higher than middle of the wheels) car stalled and would not start. At first it cranked but no start, but then...

    Belt drive

    Sometimes I have a belt squealing. Usually happens in the morning, especially during cold starts. Also, sometimes squeals for short period when I turn on the AC. From time to time when turning the wheels fast from one side to other, I can feel "lumps" of resistance, like hydraulic booster going...

    Effectiveness of AC

    I always felt like the AC isn't blowing cold enough air while on idle. About a month ago had the system evacuated and refilled again with 1250grams/44oz (has auxillary ac in the back). But compared to my brother's Honda Accord 2.4 2008, it still not good enough. At an ambient temp of about...

    Transponder key; PCM programming update

    I have a 2008 Ford Explorer 4.0L 5R55S From reading the forums it seems I need to have two keys to be able to program another spare. If only one key, then need to go to a dealer who using his equipment clears the old key code from PATS and programs two new keys in. But we do not have any...
