My check engine light is on - Page 6

and the car (2001 Honda Civic/54,000 miles) is intermittently sputtering or jolting. I took it to the dealer, because I had to replace the airbag, and they told me this:

Engine code P1519. They recommended that I update the computer, which they did, and I drove it off. They also said that if the problem reoccured, I would have to replace the PCM (computer); to the tune of about $1,000.

Well, guess what? It reoccurred. The next morning I drove it about 10 miles. At first the the light came on and the sputtering occured. Then the light went off and it was fine. Arrgggh! I hate intermittent shit and also electrical problems!

I shouldn't have to replace the computer at less than 55,000 miles, should I? Do I have any other options?
