well i took the car out for a spin and it still isn't shifting. I also noticed that as im driving my miles on the car doesn't work. So i drove it like 3 miles and it stayed at the current mileage. The speedo doesn't work either, so I think maybe the VSS. I changed the input and output sensors already on tranny. Maybe if that worked it would take it out of limp..just a thought!

 

Maybe your dash is junk.

 

yea maybe, tomm im gonna take speedo apart and check the welds on the circuit board. Ugh this car at this pace will never be up and running

 

well after not workin on the car a few weeks i figured tonight i would go rent a OBD-II scanner.

These are the codes thrown" p0500 and p1698

Now there the same codes i had when i did the key dance, i reset the codes but will take it out tomm for a drive. Now the p0500 (VSS) really isnt a big deal, what im worried about it the p1698, i think its either the harness or the PCM is bad.

Can i just go to junk yard and get new PCM, or do i need to flash it or what not

 

If you have a gray sentry key, a new PCM will need to be programmed to the VIN. If you have the plain black keys, you should be able to just replace it.

 

yes i have the plain black key.

So what would you think my next step should be. I think i exhausted everything else

 

I'd check the price difference between the two and go with the one you feel more comfortable with ..

 

ok so i think im just going to buy a new pcm off ebay

what year range can i get this pcm in,, Mine is a 02, do i have to replace it with an 02.

 

I'd stick with a 2000-2002.

 

ok so thats what im gonna look for now on ebay.
