    PCM question

    Is it possible for a specific "function" of a PCM to go bad?
    I have a 98 that I had PE set pretty much dead on, and as I began to tune the shift points of a new transmission, I noticed it was not going rich at WOT. I am targeting around 11-0/11-3 and it is barely getting into the 13s. None of the settings have changed and everything that activates PE looks to be in place.
    Could the PCM just be bad?

    This happened on my old 2000 Camaro...it was the MAF sensor failing, not the PCM.
