Computers almost never go bad. They're built like rocks. Chances are you had a chip plugged in when you pulled the codes and got a check-sum error because of the chip.

did it start doing this right when your chip was installed? We had a problem wit our chip we didn't clean the contacts good enough and the car didn't idle good or drive good.

i had the same problem with a previous mustang. i would be sitting at a light and the rpm would go straight to 3 grand for no reason. it did it sporatically and was very aggrivating. i scanned at a bunch of different places and got no definative answer. i replaced (all upgrades mind you)...the tb, tps, iac, egr, mass air checked for vacuum leaks, etc. and they solved nothing, i replaced the computer, and it solved everything. i replaced that last when i should have changed that first but i guess hindsight is always 20/20.
