Default My Computer Is Dead!!!

The computer in my car took a dump tonight. The car ran fine and then shut it down and then went to crank it up and it would do nothing but spin over.There is no communication between the tech2 and the computer. Keep's showing up as an error!I think the cause of the problem is due to a bad battery and a bad ground since I relocated it to the back.

Do you need help finding another PCM?

Someone once told me...welcome to the Crazy, Wild, EXPENSIVE world of forced induction!

He wasn't kidding.

Actually yes I do and quick. I am supposed to go to florida this next weekend to do some racing. The computer should be under the 8yr,80,000mile emission warranty still. Any help is appreciated!

I think there is a dealership that is in cumming that they use. They will warranty my old computer under the 8yr,80,000 mile emission's something or another,and they also have one in stock also.Let me make sure they are going to warranty it and if they don't I will come by monday and get the one from you if they try to charge me to much for it at the dealership.

Fuses are all good. We think the battery shorted out and took the computer with it. There was battery acid on the ground wire and i didn';t notice it leaking cause it was in the back.
