NO, you do not need to do anything with the PCM when you replace the ICM.

As far as the wiring, I have seen wiring splice jobs cause excessive resistance and a no start condition. It is possible that the shop that did the replacement just didn't seal up the wiring properly. I find that the 3M shrink wrap butt connectors work great in applications such as these. They have a heat activated glue inside that completely seals the connection as well as strain relieves the splice.

Hope this helps!

Where do you buy the 3M shrink wrap butt connectors?? I don't believe I have ever seen them. I use shrunk tubing but a shrink wrap connector would be real cool.
Thanks,
Craig

Walmart of all places! I was just as shocked when I found them there. That is where I buy them from now. These butt connectors are the best you can buy retail IMO.
