In reply to Cindy Jones. I don't know. Did all those codes show up at once? They seem like unrelated codes to me.

I have a 2000 Nissan Maxima and it is throwing codes… P0300, P0732, P0505, P1320.
if the computer is fried will the car still run? Also I smell rotten eggs while driving it, but it seems to run better at 60 or 70 mph.

In reply to Rochelle Block. The best way to approach such kind of issues is to scan to see if there is any problem code. You can do this with an OBD II scan tool if you are comfortable with fixing your car yourself but if you are not then just check in with a professional.

In reply to Gladys. What are the symptoms of the problem? The root cause is probably not the ECM.

I have 2010 FORD MUSTANG V6. two ecm’s have been replaced in it and they have not started the vehicle. Can the motor or transmission be replaced on it to fix the issue?

In reply to Linda. I would be skeptical of that vehicle. It would be wise to get a pre-purchase inspection on any used vehicle you buy, whether from a dealer or a private party. If the seller does not agree to a pre-purchase inspection, walk away and look for a different vehicle. You may have to pay for the cost of the inspection but it is well worth the $150 or so compared to a $6,000 engine, for instance.

Is there a charge?

I am interested in a used car for sale that had the engine replaced and it runs ruff but owner said he was told the computer needed to be reprogramed. I need a dependable vehicle to take my husband to and from medical appts. for his Traumatic brain injury. I am almost 80 & no noting about the workings of vehicles except to gas it up.

In reply to Brittany. Why do you think the vehicle was overcharging?

I have a 05 focus that was over charging badly so I was going to get a aultinator and the car just died and wouldn’t start or even crank over. We tried jumping it and nothing.. we got the new aultinator on and still nothing by turning the key but when the started got crossed over it cranked just wouldn’t start. We tried running the OBD on it but it wouldn’t even register it to come on.. my friend thinks it’s the ECM , the battery is good, all ground wires have been checked .. what do you think it could be?

I took it to a local transmission shot and ponted out some problems with the repair. drove ir home next day it wouldnt start. Had it towed in to the mechanic who rebuilt the tranny and and said the data link connector is not working and he cant do anything to my vehicle>
