Default need help again...

Well i went to a show saturday and on the way home the service engine light came on and nothing was going to be opened until today for something to see what was wrong with it. i drove over to the normal place that works on my car and the light went off. they said they were to busy and if the light went off they couldn't do anything.(is it not on the computer anyway?). then on the way home my trans feels like its not shifting right. i am over 3000 rpm ridding at 60. normally it is around 2100. then i get home and popped the hood and looked at the fluid and it looked fine. so i shut off the engine. the engine started to make a funny noise like everything was still spinning. what is going on with my car? i have had it since sept. and have replaced spark plugs, wires, fuel pump, and fuel filter. all that since march.

Code Will still be in the PCM. Scan it. Check the fluids and make sure the coolant is good and what not.

How did they determine that you need a (fuel) pressure regulator by scanning the PCM? Sounds funky, IMO.
