Reply With QuoteThere's not enough info to say for sure, but changing out the computer is a
pretty drastic step. You might be wise to seek another opinion.
If it comes to it, you can get a used computer from a junker. You just have
to make sure that the donor vehicle is EXACTLY the same as yours - same
engine, transmission, accessories, options... everything.

Once you start jumpering wiring in an OBDII car anything can be destroyed.
There are proper ways to test for open/shorted circuits. Find a good
mechanic who can diagnose it correctly.

Glad to hear everything worked out.
BTW, if you don't mind my asking, how much did the new computer run you?
