Well, I guess I'll avoid PCM-for-less. I've already sent the PCM to Solomon. I'll let you know how it works out.

I now have the retuned PCM from Solomon K. installed, and the car seems to have grown a third testicle. I'm headed to NH for an 800 mile shakedown cruise before Wagonfest in 10 days. Woo hoo!

I installed my PCM4Less pcm 3 days ago and I've gotta say, this is by far the best single thing I have done to my wagon performance wise since buying it! The thing runs and shifts the way I always thought it should now, the midrange is fricken' awesome too and the shifts are harder and more crisp! . Best of all my ERG code 32 that has plagued me for the last 2 years is gone! Now to tune My other wagons! Dmg- how much did Solomon charge you? I think PCM was $190 and I am happy with the pretty basic tune- I'll post again after I get more miles behind the tune-

i am thinking about doing this myself. did you notice a change in gas mileage after you had your PCM tuned?

This drive out to work was the first time I've driven it out of town since tune... Got right at 22mpg in two fillups(21.33 + 22.68), driving around 76mph for 600 miles with light traffic. That is my all time best mileage heading west on 94. I usually struggle to get over 20(headwind). I will update on my way back, that will be another good test. I usually have a tailwind!
