Help.. Need a Computer for a 700SCI
 
Having issues with a computer on one of my 700's. The idol sensor is not getting enough jucie to run from the computer and mercury tells me I need a new computer. They said its a harware issue. Swap the PCM to other motor and the problem follows. Anyone have any other thoughts, or perhaps a computer around they wanna sell?

I lost 2 computers last year. What happens is the IAC valve burns up and takes the computer with it. Change the valve with the computer before you loose another computer. There is no fixing the old computers I was told.

Perfect! Thats what happen to mine just like you said "IAC took out the computer". Sounds like mercury has issues that need addressed. Part alone is almost $2K....Hello Mercury:bsflag:

$100 part that causes $2000 in damage is an issue as far as I am concerned. 2 Other friends also had to replace their computers. Makes 4 of us now!

The first one went after 150 hrs and second 25 hrs later. I think after 125 hrs you should change the IAC's maybe we can save a computer.
