98 PCM interrupted when erasing... A guy opened up my friends car door during the middle of him erasing and trying to program his PCM w/HP Tuners. Nothing took, and now nothing works. I think the PCM is blown. Can this be fixed? Or does he have to get a new one and load the orig program back into it? also, how much does a new PCM cost? Thx in advance!

try reflashing HPTuners doesnt kill PCM's unless you are the anomoly. I pulled the cable whjile flashing a 98 and waited a few seconds and was able top restart the flash...
Was this a calibration re write or a full rewrite

opening a door should not cause a problem when flashing. You don't even want to know my normal reflash procedure, but it is not conservative at all.
I would check the trouble codes, as long as there is not a P605 or P606 you should be able to recover it, just try to flash it again to a saved file. (note, MUST be from the original pcm read, or a read from the same OS)
