124-545-3632 CC/ISC Control Unit $1500
000-094-01-4888 MAF sensor $312
004-151-78-0188 Starter $560
The wiring harness was changed withing the last 4 - 5 years. I dont know if it could have gone bad so soon. MAF was changed 3 years ago because CE light came on.
The CC/ISC Control unit is dead according to the dealer and that is why it wont start and idle.
Any help would be appreciated greatly. Thank you.

Wiring harness: check the connection just before it plugs into the MAF (Mass Air Filter);use a knife to 'carefully' cut the outside sheath to expose the inner wires. If it was changed, then the wires will be 'perfect'. If they look crumbly, cracked and brittle, then the wiring harness MUST be replaced.
In fact, it it's bad, then that, most likely, caused the EA/ISC/CC to go bad. At least, it CAN happen since the wires short and/or cross connect which can cause that modules (and others) to fail!
The MAF can be "cleaned" if it's still good, just contaminated; see MENU#4a for decontamination of an MAF.
There's alot more that can be done but you need get these items checked out and repaired first. . . unles you decide to buy another car.
