99 Cavalier PCM replacement
Hey All,
I am looking into replacing my PCM/ECU after having an issue with my radiator fan not spinning up, and tracing all of the electrical back to the PCM. Before I just went and replaced this relatively expensive part I wanted to ask something. Is it a good idea or even possible to just pull another PCM from another cavalier out of a junkyard as long as it has the same engine and transmission, and is there anything I should watch out for if I do end up replacing this thing.
Thanks!

for most vehicles its required for theft deterrent. older cavs use the ipc for theft deterrent...so you may be able to just install a used pcm without programming.
maybe check out jbody.org a cav forum.
