Yes Dom, I understand that point. I just intend to verify that my ESC system is working correctly by using the flow charts for DTC 43 & 42 and the suggested steps in the Detonation /Knock section in the Intermittent troubleshooting guide section. I figure if I verify circuit integrity and component functionality then at least I can put the ESC module & knock sensor & fuel pumps to bed and move on to something else....I just don't know what specifically, but I think the mechanical due diligence should be run to the end of the charts just to be sure, no?
Yun, I will bear your experience in mind. Since we pay handsomely for the RC's I would have to say I tend to think "It can't be the injectors"....however when I drive the car with my scan tool connected I shall observe the fuel numbers also maybe I will see something. I just hate to assume it's the injectors out of hand. As to how she runs when not quite up to temp, I don't know for sure. I would have to say that I do believe that I don't notice any knocking when she is cool. I would have to say I will have to be way more rigorous in observing for knocks now that I seem to want to chase this down. Even if she's hot you need cockpit silence, windows down, and something for the knock to reflect off of to hear it. Even then it's sometimes very feint although I'm sure that's where my scanner will help me. I hope.
