Since more then 1 year my Gen 3 Viper has progressive starting problems when hot.
When cold the car would only start with the headlights on. When hot it did not start anymore.

My electrician in town spent a lot of time on the Viper to find the cause.
At last we did an oven- & fridge test on the original PCM.

When using a hot PCM the car did not start.When using a cold PCM the car started directly.
Through the help of Steve Indy ( thanks Steve ! ) I came in contact with Dale Matthews of Prefix in Michigan.

Prefix sended a plug & play Gen 3 PCM with P/N 05029700AE to my address near Amsterdam.
Yesterday I received the parcel and fitted the new PCM in my Viper.

The starting problem has been solved and I am a lucky man.
