S10 Broke Down!

My S10 pickup has been having an issue where the brake light and ABS light would come on.  Also the engine light would sometimes come on.  Had it checked out at Midas.  Midas couldn’t get a reading and told me to stop by the next time it came on.  Well… yesterday I ran out for lunch and the lights came on.  I took it to Midas and they got a reading, but couldn’t figure out the problem and recommended a place to take it to.  Driving back home, it quit on me several times until I was close enough to walk home.  I called my mechanic and they came and towed it to their shop.  They determined the computer needed to be replaced and quoted me around $400 for a used computer, having Chevy re-program it and for towing.  I asked them how much a new computer would be and they said it was only $100 more, so I said to go with a new computer.  So the truck should be ready sometime next week!  Will have to take the bus to work as there is rain in the forecast for Mon and Tue!
