links are from dodge talk . not sure why I'm getting ******** ???

Oven method is just put the whole PCM in the oven at 360 for a certain amount of time . This is suppose to reflow the solder without dis-assembly . Solder melts at 360 so theoretically , it should work . My concern is what else melts .

I have seen too many horror stories about PCM's from AutoComputerExchange..... Their reputation just sucks. Can you get your money back from them, and order one up from a local parts store?

It's evident that the PCM IS the problem. Why the ones from ACE will only fire the engine once is rather interesting though....... wonder if that is just due to their crappy quality.....

yeah i know the PCM is the issue. I am going to call them now and see if i can get a refund. I didnt do much research on them , i just saw they were local and reasonable on price i got a guy who will sell me a used one for $60 so gonna go try that and see what happens. I hope they refund me the money @ ACE
