did you RESET the computer via the manufacturers instructions ?.
Follow up- I don't think it was done. What exactly has to be done in resetting the computer? I had it diagnosed at another shop and they said a wire was ripped under the car and he repaired it and I was charged a large amount for the time. Was I taken. Thanks for your response. Its now working.


Answer
Were you taken ?. That is a hard one to tell. He might have found a wire but I have my doubts, But it IS possible.

Locate the fuse # 13 under the hood in the relay/fuse panel that should be marked PCM.

Make SURE that the ignition switch is OFF and the keys are in your pocket BEFORE you pull this fuse for 15 seconds and then re-install it.
