It should be on the drivers side underdash. here is a large group of wires under the hood that bolts up to it. Culprit could be an ignition pickup or PCM. Do you have spark and does it stay sparking or does it start to spark and then stop?
AnswerIt reads the position and/or speed of an engine as it is rotating. When crankshaft is turning, the sensor will provide a signal to the PCM. The PCM will then allow the engine to start by providing spark and fuel.
Try replacing the ignition module. It is located in the distributor. This is what gives the PCM the reference to turn on the fuel pump, fire spark, etc.
Pulse-code modulation (PCM) is a method used to digitally represent analog signals.
I have seen in a few rare instances where an failed power steering pressure sensor/switch allows oil into the wire harness and that travels into the pcm
PCM = Per Calender Month so if u have 847pcm, that's how much u pay per month. of the calender
A 1997 Wrangler doesn't have a BCM. (body control module) It does have a PCM (powertrain control module) which is behind the battery.
Yes, the Pcm memory will be cleared with each disconnect.
The passenger side right behind the battery on the firewall. cant miss it
pcm or crank sencer
It is there to detect detonation or ( knocking ) and the information is used to adjust timing by the pcm.
How would I know if The PCM is not working, fuel pump and the ignition is not starting and theres no spark to the spark plug or to the distributor it has no spark to the spark plug or to the distributor it has no juice when you try to start the car. Fuse box is working on both ends. I checked the coil and its working. My car is a 1997 Doge Neon. Start by having it checked for trouble codes. If the PCM is not working; the easiest way to check for a PCM problem is by turning the ignition (the key) from position I to II, do not start the engine. The CEL (check engine light, yellow in colour) should light for 3 seconds and then turn off. If it does not turn on, then the PCM is not working correctly or there is no power going to the PCM. Then I would start by checking the PCM fuse and checking if there is power going to the PCM. Earlier model neons have PCM problems. Only a retarded manufacture puts the PCM under the hood exposed to the extremes of the elements. Honda is better, put it inside the car were is belongs!
The PCM is responsible for controlling all of the engine's functions. ie: spark, fuel, cruise, alternator, a/c ....
It means the battery has been disconnected from the pcm with in the last 50 key on cycles
It is used by the PCM to determines fuel and spark timing
replaced ignition coil pack, PCM and spark plugs. No signal comes from the computer to fire plugs 2 and 3, but 1 and 4 are firing nicely. The van WILL NOT start, but -- at times -- it tries. Please help. There is possibility that I bought a faulty PCM with the same problem that I had from the original, but I dunno.

if it's the same drive train i don't see why not. ie; same size engine and same transmission. Most likely no, they are too far apart in years.
