Problems reading PCM? Long story short is that I had the car apart and put it back together and now I cant read the PCM. The car runs fine but of coarse I wanted to make some changes. Before tearing it apart I could read it just fine. I have power to the cig lighter. I am using HPtuners with a serial cable. Could my cable/interface possibly have taken a turn for the worse? This stuff is less than a year old.

Dunno - maybe you missed a ground somewhere? If the CIG/ACCY fuse is OK I'd try probing the DLC pins with a meter - www.obdii.com/connector.html shows what they are. Hope this helps...

I would but I dont really have that option over here at the moment. I really doubt its the car. My thoughts would be if it were the computer it the car would not run. I am going to try a different laptop next. My best bet at this point I think.

Just in case anyone was wondering it ended up being the serial port on the other laptop. I done know exaclty what is wrong with it but everything works fine on another system.
