Creator's Key Takeaways

I'm PR saying that it's not going to cost more than 400 bucks because I can't afford more than $400

this might be the end for little blue I mean she still runs but um you know I can't really rely on her anymore

the problem is with the computer unit here this thing called a um I think it's called a PCM or ECM unit

I'm leaning more towards trying to order a $200 unit um and then trying to install it myself

Creator's Tips & Advice

βœ“Consider ordering a refurbished PCM/ECM unit online for $200-$400 instead of paying high mechanic fees
βœ“Check scrapyards for compatible computer units but be prepared for reprogramming requirements
βœ“Monitor Craigslist for affordable replacement vans if repair costs exceed budget

YouTube Video Description↓

I ended up taking 'Lil Blue II to another mechanic and the problem has been diagnosed as the PCM computer unit. Sadly, the cost for the mechanic to repair this is nearly $900, which I'm not willing to pay, considering that 'Lil Blue II was bought for roughly around that price.
