Can anyone go to a dealership and ask for a pcm flash? As long as I have a vin number and a new pcm?

Sure, as long as you have a car to stick it in.

Rarely do dealerships have a programming harness. They will very likely need a vehicle or they won't work on it.

Well its in a rx-7....so thats why I was wondering...I just thought maybe I could go to a dealership with a pcm and have them flash it because my car isnt reading the maf and a friend of mine told me that with a pcm flash would fix it.

maybe a tuning shop could help you on that? like they could put the PCM in one of their cars just to reflash and then stick their's back in the car

well i have a obd2 port on my pcm...I just wasnt forsure if I could go into any dealership and have em flash it if I have a vin number on hand.

Some parts houses do pcm flashes. (the one we use does) A plus is that it doesn't need to be in a vehicle. you still need a vin

it would probably depend on the tech and or manager, and you would need a vin as well

Alright, well I knew I would need a vin, I just wasnt for sure if they would do it if I just walked up there. Thanks for you help it is much appreciated!

You would need a vehicle...the only programming at the dealer that can be done has to be through a DLC. We dont have any harnesses that plug into the PCM directly. Your best bet is to get ahold of a tuner that you can send your PCM to that can put a stock tune in it for you.
