His fuel pump management module died. That was weird enough to me. Why does a fuel pump need a module? Just give it 12v and call it a day, like cars have done for 50 years.
Gets even better. He bought a used one off eBay. Wouldnt work. The module needs to be programmed to his Vin#. Why??? Security? What security, when the programmers are available online, craigslist people will do it for you, mechanics have the tools, and even if you went to a dealer I somehow doubt they check against some theft database or anything. It's all insane.
