It can be reprogrammed right on the vehicle. It can also be removed and reprogrammed too.

Have you run a scan on the vehicle? It'll reveal a non-functioning unit.

Frankly, I doubt the problem is the DME. I would look at the crank and cam position sensors. Again a scanner would reveal the problem. Do it with the engine running.
1. It is at an independent shop.
2. Engine is not running.
3. Cam shaft positioning sensor was replaced
4. Car could not be reprogrammed and they have determined "aside from condemning the engine" the DME must be replaced.
