I have had this problem for about 2 months now, starter was replaced, alternator was replaced, 3 batterys installed, car has been fully tuned up, oxygen sensor, cam sensor, timing chain, etc, when I bought car last march a few times electrical problem was displayed I turned off car and restarted problem went away. Ive had a slight drivabilty problem also at higher speeds only sometimes 55 mph or above rpm rises 500rpm and comes back down, brought car to tranny shop they drove it said tranny is fine, going down the road if I put car in diagnostic mode computer shut down the problem goes away. Draining problem got worse, battery drains down in about 4 hours, I just had the car at a shop for 3 days, mechanic said drain is in circuit labeled electric, but he was unable to locate problem, changed out bcm didnt cure problem, but mesage center displayed electrical problem so he put old bcm back in another shop told me try replacing the ecm? Saying hes seen ecm drain down battery when they start to go out junkyard is agreeing to exchange the bcm for an ecm. Also ive had cruise control problems where the cruise control shuts off, and cruise problem is displayed, I found some bad vacum hoses replaced them, then broke nipple on the cruise servo, so now ive removed the cruise fuse, and plugged off hose, also power antenna quit working, I unplugged relay, ive pulled out rear cig lighters, under hood light, trunk light, the only actual trouble code that was set as a hard code was for the air charge sensor, I replaced, this car has been stripping my pocket book bigtime, has anyone had same or similar problem? Any input whether ecm changeout is gonna cure problem, one mechanic said my problem may be the transmission electric solenoid, any help would be appreciated contact jeff 612-789-3973
