This is my first post so I want to say hello to everyone.
I have a '95 Dodge intrepid ES 3.5L and have been going crazy lately. It started about a month ago, when one morning it just wouldn't start. I charged it up and couldn't get it going. First thing we thought was the alternator, but after 5 of those, we realized it had to be something else. I also replaced the battery just in case. The car runs great when it has power, but it just runs down the battery and dies off.The meter is reading about 12v from the alternator so the connection is fine, but it's not charging. I had the connection between the PCM and the alt checked and it was cleared. At this point I looking at buying a new computer because I'm getting a code 41. I have a couple of questions about the computer.
1. is it worth it to scour a junkyard for one?
2. as long as it has the same oem number (06406841) can i grab it from a Concorde or LHS?
3. Does it need to be programed or is it PnP?
