touched it with something on accedent

what makes you think your ecu is fried? you must have some proof those things are'nt cheap. sorry but this is the mindset of a tech, cause i cant just go spending the money of my customers without proper diagnoses.

The black connector has a melted spot near the one prong that is away from all others and it smells like ass......


So i need a pcm

I can get one from intense for like 200-300 due to my gift certificates

bdwarr6

yep wrench fell hit the positive terminal and ten touched the pcm

Yeah that sucks, and make sure the connector is good enough to be used again or you will have to replace that too.

chevytech

pray to sweet jesus that the connector is ok becuase to get or much less replace that concector housing is a royal pain in the ass. your eyes are going to hurt for a week if you have to r&r those terminals. trust me i just did it to the bcm on a malibu ss tuesday. and of course, it was warranty and paid exactly .9 hrs and took atleast 2hrs i love flat rate warranty b.s.!!

Exactly how much of your engine did you put together? From the looks of this thread, everything you have done, you have done wrong.

I am not trying to be rude or anything, but if you don't know how to install an engine, you probably shouldn't do it. With all the money you have spent replacing parts that you don't even know are broken or not, you could have had a mechanic do the work for you and your car would be on the road and working right now.

My worry is that all the money you spent on internals could go out with a bang when and if this car ever fires up. The little problems your having now aren't critical. But if you "forgot" to tighten a head bolt, or a crank bolt like you forgot to tighten a spark plug, your going to have a serious problem on your hands and your going to be back where you started. I hope none of this happens, but I would have the ENTIRE car checked over by a licenced mechanic before you try turning it over again.

CTORANGESC

Yes you really really do not want to have to do this. This sucks more than anything. Had to do it on a Lincoln were I work.

bdwarr6

I will say it now most of the **** im having problems with I didnt take off the dealership dide like the grounds and vacume hoses I labeled all my **** and installed it right


I am 100% certian my engine is sound and its my money in it

Just the PCM was an accident and the spark plug was one i used to ground test it with

DarkCobalt13

I wanna see this bad boy next time im in Indy!!!!!

bdwarr6

right now its the slowest on the site nothing special

SS_SC_Cobalt

hey I'll sell you my PCM for $300 intense dollars

chevytech

i dont know you so i wont question your abilities in any way. but i rly dont think you could have fried your pcm by touchin the case with pos. cable via wrench. because everything leading into it that is b+ is on a fuse as well as the pcm itself. now whatever individual wire is burnt i would check that system for a short. just beacuse that wire is torched does not mean the pcm is aswell i know you had a bet going for how much horsepower your going to make. but i will make a bet with you, that just a pcm will not fix your issue. as long as all the info you provided was correct to the best of your knowledge, however bleak that may be. not trying to be an ass but i do this **** every day and i have yet to hear of this. what was the wager 5$? take it or leave it

??????? ^^^^^

L.P.

don't be so hard on this guy, he's probably put alot of time and effort into this project. And i gurantee when the car starts up and runs like a bat out of hell he'll feel great that he did it himself.

No it's not, and yours is a lot more together than mine.
Of course I think at this point you owe me $5. from the other thread guessing your HP.

campo165

i KNOW you aint talkin bout the 1hp bid cause i had it first!

victory_red_SS

iTrader: (2)

Nope, mine was 0 hp because of mechanic error

bdwarr6

LOL, guys i still have time my pcm will be here saturday

I know it was the PCM Hptuners was doing some silly **** saying the throttle was at 35% while noone was on the gas and saying my a/f was like 19/1 it wouldnt read volts

My friend that was over when it happened I would put up against any mechanic hes a pure genious i argued with him and he just looked at me and said smell this, it honestly smells like **** its fried there is no argument there

06black

how the hell do you fry the PCM?.....i gotta hear this.


BTW....dam good work son....dam good.

bdwarr6

steel wrench from battery terminal to the top of PCM

and it sat for about 60 seconds while i ran to get it

06black

ohhhh okok...roger that.

2K5SS/SC?

Man, that PCM frying sucks! After sparking on the starter, now I make sure all wrenches are clear of the engine compartment before I even connect the battery. Hopefully she'll fire up now without a hitch after you get the new PCM. You'll probably have to perform a new CASE learn on it first though.

BooSSted, man why are you being so negative here? The engine is mechanical, and it's not that hard to figure out especially if you have a guide to follow like we do. Take it apart, and put it back together in the reverse order. The electrical system on a car is a little more difficult, and trying to trace out a single problem is not as easy. I personally think bdwarr06 is doing a great job. He has just run into a few snags as many engine builders do with the electrical systems. Hell, he's got it all done up to this point, so I would say he has to be quite competent and probably quite tired by now. I think we are all trying to help a fellow member out here, so lets be postive and support him.

I will be the first to say that I hope this car starts after a new PCM. Keep us posted.
