LOUI1313 Posted March 2, 2005 Report Share Posted March 2, 2005 Ok, I just got my PCM from Bryan and went to install it. I know the PCM is next to the battery. Anyone have an idea of how to get the plastic cover off the PCM without breaking it? I didn't push it too much becuase I don't want to break it. Also, when installing the PCM is the install self explanatory or are there some specaial things that you need to know. I have to send my old PCM back to Bryan tomorrow so I need help! Thanks guys.

cokedrvrbjw Posted March 3, 2005 Report Share Posted March 3, 2005 Someone should set up a small post just to help everyone out that is getting the pcm through the gp. It would help everyone...even if it is easy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stexx Posted March 3, 2005 Report Share Posted March 3, 2005 when you get the plastic cover off you will need a ratchet to loosen 2 bolts holding the wire harness on no biggy though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LOUI1313 Posted March 3, 2005 Author Report Share Posted March 3, 2005 I broke my plastic piece <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Does the plastic piece do anything of importance? Beside make the engine compartment look better? Does the PCM really need it for protection. I'm guessing not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Silver HO Posted March 3, 2005 Report Share Posted March 3, 2005 Does the plastic piece do anything of importance? Beside make the engine compartment look better? Does the PCM really need it for protection. I'm guessing not. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> It looks like it may offer some protection from the heat in the engine compartment. The metal housing of the PCM looks like it would transfer heat too easily and electronics don't like heat! I vote keep the cover on. The cover is very easy to remove. There are only two tabs holding it on. The tab at the upper rear corner (closest to the positive lead engine compartment terminal with the red plastic cover) is the key. Just place a flat-head screwdriver between the tab and the cover and pry the cover forward. The whole cover will pop right off Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LOUI1313 Posted March 4, 2005 Author Report Share Posted March 4, 2005 I broke the plastic piece. Sounds like some black electric tape to make it new again. O well. Havn't had time to really take it out into its paces but it is definatly faster! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
