Re: Estimated Labor Costs/Please Respond!!!

The mechanic I've taken the car to for several years, said that if after cleaning the engine, some of the electrical gadgets and things, that a new ECM would be the only way to go.

I think something is misfiring or a wiring issue, as it's not the only electrical thing wrong with my car. Just about everything is failing.

And so...when you said save $120.00, is that about what it would cost to clean the engine? Or replace the computer? The more info I get the better decision I can make. Please let me know!

Sorry I can't give great info on my end, not very car minded, but still a smart woman.

Oh, the reason for the new ECM is because the check engine light goes off and on, and the only code is for the EGR valve. I've had everything cleaned, fixed, replaced to do with that and everything associated with it. And this check engine light thing has been happening for years. Usually there isn't a thing wrong with my car.
