I would make sure the crank sensor is good. We see it a lot at our shop other places always thinks it's the PCM and if the crank sensor is bad you will not be able to connect to the PCM with a scan tool. What I would do first is make sure your crank sensor is getting voltage. It runs off of a 5 volt reference. If you don't have 5 volts then the sensor is bad. Hope this helps.

What do you guys think of those walmart goodyear wrangler authority tires? Come in 31x10.50x15. 150 a tire. Has the severe service emblem on the tire, for those of you who don't know what that is. It's rated for severe snow and ice. All four tires come to 634 installed. My walmart offers a 60 k mile warranty. Looks to be a pretty meaty tire.

Whats the best method to check for a leaking exhaust manifold? (since it's unseen sans intake manifold) And can a leaking exhaust manifold cause a bad idle and severe loss in mpg?
