I almost ran out of the shop screaming tonight. It all started out with swapping over to serpentine belts. While the car was apart I figured I'd finish the efi computer wiring harness. When I initially installed everything in the car it ran decent...drove it to work for awhile, but there was way too much wires. Since the car was down for a bit, seemed like agood time to do some wire shortening. I finally get the car started tonight and it was running like crap, throwing a mil code. I grab the book to find it's the throttle position voltage. I grab the laptop to hook it to the computer to find it's stuck on 1.29 volts no matter the throttle. I mess with the wiring and everything looks good. I start it up and its running fine. Every now and then idling in the garage it goes to 1.29 volts, throws a code and runs like crap, then goes back to normal. I think I'm gonna scream. I guess it's time to yank the wiring and find the problem. AAAARRRRRGGGGGG
edit: BTW...for all you efi guys....did you know that if you don't reconnect one of the "salt and pepper shakers" the car won't start. Don't ask how long it too me to figure that one out. :cry
I don't know if it's related or not...probably is. For the mil light I'm using LED's. I rewired my panel with some nicer looking LED's. Now when the check engine light is off, the led is faintly lit. The trigger for the CEL light is ground, so there must be short with another ground....
I'm thinking now why the *BLEEP* did I decide to rewire. It wasn't broken...why futz with it?!?
Excuse me while I go into the other room and start dropping :fbomb :fbomb :fbomb :fbomb :fbomb
