I bought it used it would run untill the battery died cause it still wasnt charging so i got another used one with the warrenty thats the onethat was doin what i told you but they told me it didnt have to be flashed as long as the vin #s matched the car could it be somethin in the main computer instead of the pcm?

canot use used computers on obd 2 cars. there is a vin mismatch that prevents the vehicle from running. it may or may not take a flash but must be flashed. a used car junkyard will tell you anything for a sale
