Re: 99 misfiring, now won't start
Gentlemen,
After checking with the computer, I learned the only 2 places in my town that can program my BCM are the 2 GMC dealers in town. I am a little disturbed as I have replaced everything my friends have told me. Yea, I know I was in need of new plugs and wires, but pressure regulator? who knows, it was very expensive, but what the hay. Without this forum I would have replaced the crank sensor and the sensor on the intake at the rear, I don't remember, its been a long couple of weeks.
I talked to a friend who has a shop and he was looking on his computer with my gripes. he said what he had heard sounds like the BCM, and he could replace the computer, but.... there are 2 places in town that could program it, the chevy and gmc dealers. I told him to replace the computer and the drivers side window guts (since it broke a cable). He had his wrecker come to my house and tow it to his shop. I am getting cost on parts and a discount on labor. Towing was....... NOTHING. I give up, I've done the volt testing and all that has been advised. I really hate this as I like to figure out my problems and fix them. It was a real upset when told it was the bcm and only the gm dealer could program it (nobody in town spent the money for the program).
My truck has been in the shop for over a week and I am awaiting the bill, along with what was wrong. I'll post with the findings, if it is any benifit. I am really upset as it should be an easy fix, without all computer junk. What happened to the good old days?
No security light was the big flag, other computer test's lead him to believe it was the bcm, I don't know, but when it is figured out, I'll let you know.
Jeff
