    Either you have a junk PCM or a bad ground to your motor.

    It happened to me as well. I had a bad engine ground. Check your ground before jumping to buy a new PCM.

    Had a mail-order tune and it did it, swapped back to stock PCM and it was fine.

    There's is a ground on one of the bolts connecting the motor & tranny, idk were the others are. Good way to check for this without having to look is to have the car tested for OHMs, if your car has too much resistance you more than likely have a bad ground.

    thanks guys ill check the grounds tomorrow. Since my pcm may be junk and i was planning on getting a new one anyway is there any suggestions toward which one i should get. i was leaning toward overkill

    i'd actually suggest overkill, just try to get in contact first before ordering to make sure you'd get it on a somewhat timely basis.
