Well I took it down to Autozone and they put the tester on it and said that
it was bad. So I called around and got a good price at a local part store.
When I took it in they put it on the tester all by itself and it worked fine
just like new. They said that since the voltage regulator is located within
the PCM I should take it down to the dealer and have them plug it up and do
I diagnostic. I sure hope I dont have to replace it seeing how they dont
make a MP computer for the 91. Thanks Jon and everyone.
