I tend to use the listen/feel method alot, though i am not anywhere close to a tech. i just 'know' how my engine sounds/runs/feels etc. i think we all do to a degree. when i blew a plug a cpl months ago, i could def. hear a miss b4 it happened...didnt need a device to know that. lol

and...as far as DTC codes, in many cases its not 1 part thats called out but many. i was getting that p1153 code a while back and the possibilities were close to endless on that one. Believe it or not, since i went off-roading with longshot...that code has yet to pop-up agn...and its been almost a month.
glad i didnt spend money on any parts.

2 pcms??? ...all i can think is why? the only way that makes sense to me is if one were to be responsible for certain data and the other was for another category of data. why would you need 2pcms, if one dont work right the other is just gonna thor things off....maybe thats a question for ford, or mike rowe lol.

interesting thread...
