Hey everyone. So my LS has been misfiring & my check engine light had come on. I stopped @ a meineke & they read the code & said it was a coil. Since ford has an 100k mile warranty on 03 LS coils I dropped it off @ my local ford Lincoln mercury dealer. They looked at it & said it's not my coil and it was just a bad ground in the trunk to the PCM (I think it's the main computer of the car). So $125 later I got my car back. 2 days later ny car starts to rough idle again & starts misfiring & my engine light goes on. I call them back & tell them it's happening again. They said drop it off & they'll look at it again for no charge.
I decide to goto another mechanic to run my codes & he said his reader is saying Engine coil A & o2 sensor.
I go back to the dealer & drop it off, they call me back the next day telling me they need to replace the entire PCM but it's covered through ford.
Now I don't know if they are going about the right path. I have xcal2 in my car with codes from torrie so would that make them think it's the PCM??
Now my other dilemma is that if they change my PCM & I don't set my LS to default will my xcal2 be no good? If so I'm gonna sneak down to the dealership & set the car to factory.
Help!!!! Thanks,
Dave
