Q: The engine revs will drop and pick up intermitently. At the same time the speedometer will fluctuate rapidly. The mechanic I took it to says that it is a problem with the Powertrain Control Module and that I need to replace it. What do you think?

Q: I am an experienced mechanic. I have the symptoms of a blown head gasket or cracked head. I have had the head pressure tested and no crack was found. I have completelly disassembled the head and can see no crack. The head was resurfaced and reinstalled. It ran fine until it warmed up then same problem.I am getting compression into the cooling system. Upon disassembley I can find no sign of a blown head gasket. I checked the block with a staight edge. It checks out OK. Any advice ?
