not really. it happened at the same time some wires got messed up under the car causing my fuel pump not too work. fixed those and the car starts up now. but the fans turn on automatically and i cant connect to my ecm using my laptop.

good point. where's the sensor that reads the temperature to trigger the fans? i tried it when the car was cold and they still turned on so maybe its a bad sensor.

i drove it today for the first time after getting it back and it runs like ****. the service engine light is on and i cant connect to the pcm. i have a spare computer too and when i swap it in same thing cant connect to the pcm. its idling high running pig rich and lazy under 2.5K rpms. when you take you foot off the gas and it goes into DFCO it runs even more rich. WTF happened to this thing
not even my mechanic can connect with his scan tool. its like one day i drove it home turned it off then tried to turn it back on and it all turned to ****.

okay anybody else got any ideas. my obd1 port is not working so i cant scan the pcm. tried swapping pcms, using a different scanner/cable, using cleaner on the ports and nothing. car still runs like crap.
