Subject: SMEC vs. Dealer
IP: Logged

Message:
I was having idle probloms with my 94' so i finally gave up and took it to the dealer. I have changed the o2 sensor, cleaned the TB and added chemicals to remove water from the fuel. The service department has now informed me that the SMEC is damaged and needs to be replaced. I beleive I am thinking of the right computer, the one over my passenger side wheel well. They want $350 to replace it(I think they are insane) so I went in to make sure we were all talking about the same 'puter. They claimed that they have to set the values in the SMEC or it won't run right. My argument is that when I put in the Mopar proformance computer I didn't need any special controler to set the values. Am I right in thinking that if i just get a new SMEC and plug it in it will work and reaclimate it's self(looking in CW and bernd's direction)? Thanks in advance. And I have till tuesday to get this all sorted out, that's when the new part comes and either they fix it or I do.
