Would a code scanner tell you if the PCM was bad?

Gotta bump...I need help.

check the fuses under the dash, there is a 30 amp fuse that controls the PCM and fuel pump that gets blown when the fuel heater shorts out. Unplug the fuel heater it is the plug on the back of the fuel bowl first. I don't remember what number fuse it is but when looking at the fuse panel it is on the right towards the bottom.

Thanks FC...

I looked and the only 30 amp fuse under the dash is in fact shot and its on the bottom right. Gotta go grab a few but I'll be sure to post if that works!

Thanks again and Merry Christmas!

Sounds like that will fix ya up. Just be sure to unplug the fuel heater first otherwise it will just blow it again as soon as you turn the key on. Since you are in Nashville you shouldn't need the fuel heater plugged in, so you can just cap it off or something or just leave it hanging there.

Mer' Crima' to all, and to all a good Night.
