PCM Problem Recently, my car had been acting funny while crusing. Te other day, it would start and the milage was not being displayed on my cluster. I took out the cluster to find that nothing was wrong, and started to inspect the connection at the pcm with the key on, engine off. I pushed down on the connector that is bolted into the PCM and heard sensors go crazy. I found out it was not making a good connection, and thus not allowing the car to start. I went to remove the bolt to see what could be the problem, and the bolt snapped off inside the PCM. Now this is a speed inc tuned PCM, and I am afraid I am going to lose my tune, but more than that I need a stcok PCM for a 98 M6 car. Anyone have any idea where I can get a used one? Basically, I dont want to have to pay full price from a dealer. Can anyone help me out? Thanks in advance.

Why don't you give Wester's Garage a try. I got a used 2k pcm from him, great guy to deal with too.
I just have his email address handy, but if you want his address and phone number, I can look for it.

I've heard that valvegod can get pcm's.
I would think speed inc, if you tell them the story, send them the old and the new pcm, would transfer your tune for you...
You could possibly get the broken bolt drilled out of the pcm. If you remove the pcm. Just tape over the socket openings to keep the chips out.
