Q: I just had my engine replaced. Car was not starting, could it be the computer module went out? Can I buy that?
I don't know if it's the ECM that's not working. What all started this is my car timing chain broke at the bottom which caused other issues in my engine, so I got a new engine, radiator, and fan for the engine and the car always seemed like it wanted to crank, but now it's not doing anything.
My car has 2300000 miles.
My car has an automatic transmission.
