43 Ignition coil #1 primary circuit Harness and connector / Ignition coil #1

I would check the voltage on your coil and check the harness see if it's ok free from debris and garbage.

12 is a batttery code no big deal mean you unplugged your battery in the last 50 key turns or some bullshit.

31 EVAP solenoid circuit Evaporative purge solenoid / Clogged purge line / Vacuum hose / Evaporative emission canister clogged

This is the damn code alot us the 2gnt guys get from the damn evap shit, this is a hard bitch to trouble shoot from what I read so far, check all your vacuum lines and then check the other stuff in the code...

55 means it's the end of the codes....

use this page to look up trouble codes when not certain from memory.

That should get you started...Good luck and hit me up on Aim if I can help you out anymore.

thnx dude, yeah i was checking that link while doing the keydance hehe, but i didnt understand what it meant with evap and stuff like that, so thats why i asked here, well thnx for the help bro, btw, how do i check the vacum lines, which are they? and what harness should i check for debris?

I think I'm not sure but if you search somewhere on this site you will find the proccess for testing the coil pack, I've been looking but havn't found much yet...

The vacume lines you can hook a pressure tested to them and see..there is a write up to check for leaks on the site I knwo I've seen it...

I told you I have read this forum inside and out..

It's been shitty here the past couple of days.

Disconnect the coil and all spark plug wires. There should be three pins where the connector plugs into. The middle is the battery, outside ones are for the coil. Test resistance at middle pin and one of the outsides, then middle pin and the other outside pin. Should be around .51-.61 ohms. Then you move to the actual pins on the coil, and test resistance between 1 and 4, and then between 2 and 3, and it should be around 11.3-13.5 kilo ohms.

Why's that? Not because of the whole posting issue right? From what I see in this thread, is you made good quality posts, and that's appreciated.:thumbsup

My sentiments exactly. Much more quality less quantity.
