Has anyone had the new PCM installed to correct the starting problem?If you have how is your Vibe starting and running? I have one on order.

No, I tried to have the dealer take care of this for me. They couldnt find anything wrong (big surprise ), and I was advised to not use 7-11 fuel anymore. I was told to use BP or Texaco. Well here in CO (as well as in other cold places I expect) they use 25% ethinol during the winter in all of their (BP and Texaco) fuel. Unless I am mistaken, our owners manual states to NOT use ethinated fuels.I almost slapped the mechanic. When is your new PCM due in? Are you doing this under warrenty?

I had mine replaced a few years back, no problems so far.
