Re: 97 Programmable PCM
Ive got a 97' pcm. I had to plug a new vin# into it so it would work for a manual trans. Are you running a manual? It would also need to be re-tuned before you could use it because it is scaled for #36 injectors.

Re: 97 Programmable PCM
Your either going to have to find one out of an auto, or have someone flash a vin into the pcm for an auto. I honestly dont know if you could use a newer unit than a 97', but just make sure you dont get one thats designed for drive by wire.

The only way to change a pcm from manual to automatic is to put a vin# into it that is for an auto. I originally got one from pcmforless, and it ended up being for an auto. I had to take it to the dealership and they put a different vin# in it for me. Ive seen people online that do this service for $50-$75. Ive also heard that the pcm needs to be left unlocked in order to access it via hptuners.
