Computer problem
1997 Dodge Intrepid 6 cyl Front Wheel Drive Automatic

My car had been acting up for a while. My check engine light has been on and my car has been shaking up and down really bad. I had it tested and they said the engine light was on because of my oxygen sensor and fuel injector #4. Well we replaced them with new ones and the problem was not fixed. After that they told me it was my computer so we put a new one in and now my car won't start. It cranks but will not start. We tested the coil pack and it wasnt getting any juice to it so we replaced it thinking that was the problem and STILL the car won't start! Do you have any suggestions?

We replaced the crank sensor and the asd relay is ok! Yes the car worked before we put in the new computer I had just drove it to the place where they put it in. We can't figure out why it's not getting juice to the coil pack to fire the plugs. The fuel pump works just fine. We have been throught the engine a hundred times and no luck! Can you think of anything else that can help?

Yes. It won't read it. We just found out theirs no fuel going to the fuel rail and now the guys working on my car think it's the PCM. I guess my car has another computer. An ECM and a PCM. Could that be the problem or are they just guessing?

That's news to me you have PCM and ECM (this is NOT a true statement )
both the same (PCM and ECM )
you have TCM for the tranny control module and PCM powertrain control module
ECM they used it in older GM instead of PCM know different names same job
