EBCM I'll bet and it can be repaired for less than $200 if it is, you need to pull your computer codes from the dash and post them here.

Everything you need is on the DIC. This is the set of buttons on the right side of cluster.
Push and hold the options, then push the top (fuel) four times, it will bring up a monitor system that you can go through. Write down everything, and bring it back here. Since you've never done this before, don't be afraid to do it a few times. Its a great feature of this car. When you get comfortable with it, go ahead and reset everything, and see what comes back. Also, when you get the codes, note if they have a "H" or "C", (history or current) after them.

Don't go anywhere, especially the dealership, until I send you the info referred to in the P.M. I just sent you....
