Yes, so every time you clear the code, it returns every second start of the vehicle without fail.
This happens no matter how the code is cleared.

 

Yes, many times.

And I too searched a few part stores for this pcm, nothing under 300$, only one had a matching number.

 

[QUOTE=4x4jeepmanthing;3560804]by Part Num..printed on PCM tag and in Ebay adverts...will be 56041 in small case (for my year) and XXX digits much bigger.

Does it matter that it says it's for a 1996?

 

Almost certainly Yes

Once you have the part num of your PCM, their is heaps on USA Ebay..just search the part num

Check the distributor indexing and if the distributor shaft is loose.

 

I have done so 5 times and even replaced the distributor in case the gear was worn.FSM followed, nothing changed.
