I will repeat what I posted.

The module would fail, I would remove the module and install the spare module. The car would fire right up and I would drive the car until I drove the 150 miles back to my Uncle's Dealership, (sometimes that would be 3 months later) without a single ignition issue during that time).

Then we would install a new module right out of the parts box and I would drive the car again, sometime 3 months, sometimes a year, and then the module would fail again.

So this BS about the Chief Mechanic not knowing what he was doing or a poor installation is pure lies.
