anyone w/aftermarket pcm have this problem?
yeah yeah, i'm asking this again, but i think this is the forum to ask it in. a lot of us 92-99 owners experience "surging" or "chugging" under load when in overdrive, and i believe it'* a pcm issue. it seems to only happen to people with stock computers, so PLEASE, if you have a chip or aftermarket pcm, let me know if you ever experience this also. THIS COULD BE A TELLING FACT IN FIGURING OUT WHETHER IT'* COMPUTER/SENSOR RELATED OR AN IGNTION PROBLEM!

plugs and wires were the first things i did when the surging began... plus i've done fuel filter, cleaned my MAF many times, and even bought brand new MSD coils, all to no avail.

I'm gonna throw this out again because it may be a factor: Crank sensor?
My 94 L27 had the crank sensor go bad and there was some very alarming surging and dying from the motor numerous times. But let us know under what conditions this happens.

i don't wanna take too much space describing problems here, i posted this in performance because it'* the place where guys with aftermarket pcms are gonna see it. the problem, which many others have also had, is surging in rpms when in overdrive, i believe when the TC is locked up. it happens the worst to me at about 2400 rpm on my stock gage. haven't been able to have it on the digimoto when it'* happening. in a post a couple months ago marksssei had the same problems and he said he had a tranny shop hook his car up to a good snap-on scantool and they basically told him that his tranny and torque converter were functioning properly, the problem was coming from the fact that the pcm was "telling" the TC to surge. marksssei seemed to fix his problem by spraying his MAF with electronics cleaner. cleaning the MAF worked temporarily for me, but it'* back to its old ways. i find the symptoms eerily similar to my parents' '95 olds 88 that started running rough and eventually was diagnosed as having a faulty computer. SOOOO, to make a very long story short, i believe that there are computer problems in some of our cars, and i refuse to believe otherwise unless i can get some feedback as to whether or not this happens to guys with aftermarket pcms. i don't wanna venture $200 to get an INTENSE unit unless i'm confident that it will fix my problem. all help is GREATLY appreciated, i'm so sick of my car running weird. thanks in advance guys.
