The TCM drama continues...FML!!!
The TCM drama continues...FML!!!
need some help again fellas. Brought the car into Chrysler today to get the TCM I bought put in. With the old one I wasnt recently getting a check engine light and it would go into limp every now and then, but restarting it just took care of it as a temp fix.
They replaced it with the one I had bought and the tech was saying the car wasnt starting. Then he said he would need to clear the computer to see if that works. I guess it did and he proceeded with a test drive only to find out it was still going into limp mode.
He then states that I would need a Valve plate part # 68049181AA
Have any idea where to get one at?
So when I get the car back I was thinking "ok, well I'll just have to keep doing what I been doing the last week with the limp mode thing until this part comes in."
Get in the car notice the check engine light is on which wasnt on when I brought it in and I take off only to have it go into permanent limp mode. Restart it and still in limp mode. Take it back to the dealer and let them know whats going on, so they changed back out the new one for the old one and clear the check engine light like I had it before I brought it in.
As I'm driving the car goes into limp mode again and I pull over to restart it again. This time the car wont start at all! So I'm stuck and have to get it towed in. Do u think when he put the old one back in and cleared the code he had to reprogram it to the computer?
Something just doesnt add up that with the old one back in its not starting now and everything was ok this last week up until today when I took it in.
Such a pain in the ***. Need some help locating this plate and hopefully this is the fix I need. Thanks.
