PCM woes I just pulled off the PCM connectors and found a few of the pins pushed in. I re-pinned them and now the connectors don't feel like they're sitting properly and the car won't stay running. The pins I replaced look fine.
Anyone ever run into this?

One thing that I learned from my Dad in my youth was, "never force anything!" That and being an engineer will help in this situation. Time to just eyeball it and find out what pin(s) are clashing.

OK .. update. There was no problem... nothing bent or pushed in. The rocking of the connectors was due to the captive bolt in the center.
As to why it won't idle properly, could it be due to the pcm relearning the idle and TPS? It runs fine when I rev it up .... just won't idle. The pcm was disconnected for a good 30 minutes.
