i believe i may have a fried PCM. The car ran great with no check engine light.
wrench light came on and then check engine light. i get rpm's in park if i step on pedal but it does not go above an idle in reverse or any forward gear.

these codes came up.
PO 135, 155, 403, 443, 446, 743, 755, 962.

the transmission shifted fine and the car had a lot of power before the issue with the light.

i found a bare wire that hit and caused a spark near the PCM, the wire has since been repaired. but now i cannot move the car, the wire goes to one of the plugs on the PCM.
prior to this there were no codes at all.

Check your air conditioner clutch fuse again. F21 15 AMPS. That wire is spliced too the
EGR, Heated oxygen sensors, and transmission control. Hopefully that is the problem.

thank you, that was the problem. i replaced a blown #21, erased the codes and now no more light and it runs back to normal again.
