95 Computer Prob., Will this work without new computer
This 1995 sse I bought is having the PCM charging problem and had it in the past before I bought it. If I were to leave the pcm alone and do some upgrades for my system would they even work with the messed up PCM, or maybe make do.
I was thinking about replaceing all the engine and alt. grounds with 4 ga wire (known as the big 3), and putting in a High output(140-160amp) alternator, and also a 3-5 fared Capacitor for my subwoofer amp.
Will the faulty pcm limit the High output alternator also and how bad?

Quoted from your intro thread
Replacing the pcm is quick and easy. I'd still like to know what you are talking about saying it'* a charging system issue that is pcm related. Your alternator and battery can be tested independently to rule them out.
Upgrading the wiring like you are aiming for a large stereo is not necessarily the answer if the car is stock.

Many here with your year have a spare pcm they picked up at a great deal from a JY etc for that just in case situation.

the old owner
I read on this forum some people having the same problems I am. then also on this forum I have read that the 94-95 model was the only years they ran the charging system through the pcm. The previous owner also mentioned he put a new alternator in only to find out it was the pcm and wasted his money on the alt. My car also has a new battery and the ex-owner put a used pcm in also.
