[-FROG-]

I got mine from Chuck Tator at Tator's Dodge. The guy is pretty awesome and he spent some time with me on the phone. I know he's a busy guy, but he treated me like a friend and that seems to be the impression from all the other folks in the Viper world as well. It was about $470.00 for a remanufactured PCM for my 94" RT/10.

Here's his number - 914-763-3136

If I were you..... just for kicks, I would go to an Auto -Zone, Pep Boys, Oreilly, etc... and rent a OBD-II Computer scanner. I think it's about $100.00 to rent, but you get a full refund when you return it. Plug it into your connector (weird looking 5 pin or so connector, right beside the PCM in the wire bundle) and run a scan. There are 2 scan modes. 1. You can enter in the information, like "Dodge" - "Viper" - "Year", etc... and 2. you can just run a generic scan without entering in the data.

I borrowed an OBD-II scanner from a friend and it would not recognize my Viper in any mode. I unplugged it, walked 5 feet to another vehicle and ran both scans with ease. After scratching my head a bit, I walked back over to my Viper plugged it in, hit "SCAN" and still... it said something like "no data connected" or something obvious that it wasn't making contact.

I was still skeptical that it was my PCM, but all the problems I was having with my car, were directed to the PCM as the source of my problems.

Spend a little more time before buying a PCM, but keep it on the list. There is ALSO your ECU, which controls your Spark, so it could be that. That's the box below the PCM.

Just an FYI.... My bad PCM... When I turned the key I could hear a faint, high pitched squeel, like a high frequiency whine that occurs sometimes... like when a TV is on and you walk into the room and hear the high frequency sound. Turn your key to the on position and put your ear next to the PCM to see if you hear anything weird.
