52859, Update on non starting car.
Posted by Michael_97RS, Jun-09-03 05:31 AM
Well I had a few minutes Friday (about all I had all weekend). I plugged in the ODB-2 and scanned the codes.

Came up with "Ignition Circuit A" as a fault code I had more but cleared them (ign. cir. B, MAP, and somthing else, but I was severely playing with S-AFC settings and 30lb injectos). I played with the cam gears a little. Would get a single backfire and that was the only signs of life (happened twice of he 4 or 5 times I tried turning it over. BTW I'm back on stock injectors.

I need to pull the crank puley and check timing.
Give the spark plugs a good look (fouled out from too much fuel?)
Check Coil Pack
Check Ignition Amp

Any other ideas... for when I do get a chance?

Well, definitely check everything related to the ignition system.

What's wrong with the MAP sensor, I wonder?

Nothing was wrong I had dropped the MAP down as far as 50% when trying to get the car to go with the 30lb injectors... assuming my problem was fuel not spark. So that big of a drop the ECU got a reading out of range for the MAP sensor. I've cleared the codes and the only one to return is the Ign. Circuit "A".

Hey Michael,

If you find out that your coil went kaput let me know. I got a spare I can send out to you.

If the coil went kaput it best still be under warranty, Screamin' Deamon a couple months old, max. I'll swap my stocker back to test that, but I don't feel the problem lies there (but I'll be damned if I don't check it).
