no, more like "poor house" or "I owe my repairs to Master Card"

I meant the car. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...DIR#>/wink.png



*my eyes are still burning*



Are we doing anything to it this weekend?



Hey Okie, could you tell the drivers were bad by testing it, or did you have to assume they were the problem?

1revin7 10-25-2002 12:51 PM

i'm getting ready to pull the uim and test 'em, hey could this be a crank angle sensor deal???

UniqueTII 10-25-2002 01:17 PM

I don't think so...I'm still guessing it's the ECU.



How are you planning on testing the injectors?

by attaching a ground and a 12 volt lead to them and listening for a clicking sound.

UniqueTII 10-25-2002 01:40 PM

Oh...the old fashioned way...lol. You still want John and me to come out there tomorrow?

1revin7 10-25-2002 01:43 PM

Well there aint much to do untill I get a ecu.

UniqueTII 10-25-2002 02:06 PM

True...John had some ideas, but we'll see how everything goes.

Well, after I tested the leads coming off the ECU and got 0.0v while the car was at idle. I assumed they were bad. There was NO indication of any ECU failure by the ECU diagnostic, no codes. Everything seemed fine, except the obvious.



See, the front trailing and leading were grounding, I could tell this by the intermittent voltage readings I got off the DMM, but the rear were not.



To be honest, I checked EVERY other possible sensor, fuel line, 3 fuel pumps before I suspected the ECU. It was a REAL bitch, and I didn't even think about the ECU until I had exhausted every other possibility.



My thoughts are that his ECU is fried. Runs rough? Runs Rich? No Power? Sounds weird? Failure to find malfunctioning component(s)? Those were the symptoms mine had.



Try cleaning the plugs with a wire brush, then let the car idle for about 15-20 min. Pull the plugs and see if all four show signs of combustion i.e. starting to foul. This could be an indication of whether your injectors are firing.

UniqueTII 10-25-2002 03:01 PM

So are his injectors pretty much just dumping fuel?

(If that's the case)



It sure seems like it. Well do that check with the plugs, and see what's up. Thanks for the info.
