If you poke around on this site and any others that I post on regarding cars and trucks, you'll find that I don't use the term PCM and likely won't. There are more terms for it than the two we have been discussing, so I just stuck with the one that is easiest for me to type. I honestly won't ever change, I'm too old, and don't give a fig. If the readers want to 'correct my terminology', have at it. If they want to read what I post as helpful suggestions based on 40+ years of fiddling with cars, I like that too. My ego is not tied up in being the most accurate in terminology. Go read some of my other posts, and there is humor [well I thought so...] buried in some of them. As in a tone ring having dental problems... the teeth, get it? Not quite the 'proper technical term', but I don't care. I am not a professional discussing stuff with other professionals. If there is some code thingy that shows on posts to indicate the poster is an actual 'Pro', then I might consider caring. But I don't know of one...
later
