I say go for another programming event. If you haven't already, triple check that your replacement PCM is the right part number. Also check that the VIN in the window and the door jamb match.

As for the current VIN, the window and door jamb have the original, correct VIN, the one that is in the computer that shows up in my scanner is similar but a few of the digits are off, my auto-ID reads it as an Ion-3 or Redline and says it has a 2.0 engine instead of the 2.2 that it actually has. I think that's going to cause problems.

I have a friend of mine that has a Snapon D8 scanner, a quick Google search indicates that it can do a VIN programming bit requires a PC to download something to and you have to edit it. Not sure of the process but I thought I may be able to do the same.
If you do find out the Snappy will do it, please let me know.

Ohhhhhh so you got it pre-programmed from the parts store. I gotcha.
If they won't help, maybe see if someone local will flash it? Or see if another shop will let you borrow their Tech2.
