Is this possible? - cause my car will run when it is cold but when it get to hot it shuts down - WTF!?!? - i've called this place where i live and they say that MIT. builds a crappy computer and in the past months the have replaced 3 on eclipses around 115,000 miles - cars with the same symptoms of my car - i was just wondering if anyone else has had this problem?

Yeah it is possible in our cars, and any other cars. My friend's '90 Grand Am computer went bad 2 days ago.

Yes PCM's will go bad but it's not that common of a problem. At work every once in awhile one comes in and it will need a new PCM. And those fuckers aint cheap either, new PCM's cost around $800 bills.
