Default Re: Please Help Me! A Girl That Should Have Taken Mechanics In School!

I may be wrong, but I believe that the computer falls under federal emissions mandate and has to be warrantied for five years. I say that because I had an '83 Chevy Citation, Okay I can hear everybody out there laughing, but that car lasted more miles then my '70 Camaro, and the computer went out 14K miles 2K after the warranty and the service manager told me then that it and the emission sensors and the map sensor (multiplexer) were covered for 5 years. This may have changed over the years but you should investigate it regardless. Also, if they fried it then they are responsible for the repair as marauderroy stated.
