Here's the deal! My Explorer is constantly throwing PO600, PO800 codes. PCM communication errors. Which in turns also throws a PO174, lean bank condition because of the communication problems. So possible causes are a bad PCM and bad wiring. I suspect it is bad wiring. I say that because PCMs don't usually go bad that often and I've already had a bad wire from the PCM to the A/C which kept the A/C from working.
Now, is a run of the mill mechanic going to try and do much diagnosing on the wiring? I'm guessing that would be time consuming? Is there any half decent way to fix that wiring given the nature of the complexity of that wiring that a mechanic would try? Is or the mechanic just likely to say that it needs a whole new wiring harness? Which is out of the question.
I need to put it in for at least a couple thousand of mechanical work to string it along for a few more years. But there's no point in doing that if it would need a whole wiring harness.
