Krakkles posted:The bold part is accurate - the PCM does control alternator voltage. That's not a bad idea. It did occur to me that when I sent the PCM in to get tested, they may well simply not have tested it long enough or in the particular fashion that would induce the problem - it DOES lately seem like heat is more of a factor, so totally plausible. Yeah the ebay one might cost you some $ - but if swapping it doesn't resolve your issues then you can just put it right back on ebay in the same packaging and the cost to you will be minimal/zero - and if it does fix it then from your checklist it looks like it will be totally worth it!

rdb posted:Yeah, when the problem is occuring, unplug things one by one and note the changes. I'm no expert but if it was a sensor loving about then wouldn't most of them likely trigger a CEL with a recorded error code? How much poo poo can you unplug and still start the car?

Krakkles posted:This might be a dumb question, but would something like this provide sufficient information to help? I'm not going to buy a $300 oscilloscope, but if a $30-50 unit will help at all, I'm more than down. You can get a cheap USB oscilloscope too - it is just a box with probes and it displays in the software on a laptop. I bought myself one to diagnose issues with a single sensor. I'm not sure you are there yet - but they are handy to have!

You can get cloth tape for wrapping looms which is great too!

If a car starts after major electronic surgery its always a good start! have you just got to re-wrap it now or is there more to check and fix?

I have no experience of autoboxes but i assume you can feel it when the torque converter is locked? Would assume it is like the manual overdrive on my truck which has a "do not use in low gears" warning. I generally forget it the first time i use it on every trip.. until I have to pull off at the first junction I stop at where it becomes very evident that I forgot. Can you just add an obnoxiously bright LED indicator light to it in addition to the subtle one on the switch?
