[s-cars] RE: Fault code 2113 - can that be the ECU????

[Lee Levitt]

Chris,

Do yourself a favor. Get your car out of P&W and over to Central Service in
Natick. If it is indeed a CPU, Dave will find you a used ECU, or use one you
supply. P&W won't.

Flatbed it if you have to. I'm willing to bet you'll save more than $1000 by
doing so.
