Looking for a shop that can fix a DME

kisho · 07-29-2015, 11:09 AM

Long story short, I was out for a drive, downshifted and floored it. Then that damned half-engine light comes on and the car barely makes it home. I took it to a few places and they determined that it was the DME but were not equipped to handle it.

So does anyone have any recommendations as to where I can go to get this fixed?

Located in 21043.

fix as in physically repair the DME? or fix the car in general. I have full programming capabilities at my shop, but I wont "repair" a DME(as in solder electronics to the board)

Fix the car in general. I just want to car up and running. I've already replaced the injectors, coil packs, throttle body, and solenoids. Where are you located?

Look through this thread for some more info:

I'd send the DME off to get fixed if you can't find someone local. Get it back, install, if you still have issues THEN look for a shop to take a deeper look into it.
