So, the most current update to this ongoing investigation is this:
We have decided it is either a bad wire somewhere on the car or it is a faulty pcm "main computer". So, we are going to eliminate the main computer from the mix by replacing it.
That leads me to a few questions. Can I go to a junk yard and pull the main computer from another 3.1 1998 Malibu, stick it in my car and have it run?
If not, what is the most inexpensive way to replace my main computer? Can it be reprogrammed?
Thanks again for any help or suggestions.
