another day, another code...
Swapped ECM's on the zr-1 today and took it for a drive. the car is no long banging when it misses but it's currently running out of vacuum in 5th and setting code 61, which is different then the DIS code it set last time which number I can't remember. I had Marc Haiback check the system at carlise and the pump and actuators checked out fine. However today I get this code...this is getting old, not sure how much more of chasing codes I can take.

Re: another day, another code...
Kevin
Have you changed out injectors (new SS ones)/ coil packs / spark plugs / wires and fuel pumps? It's hard to chace down codes unless all the preventive maintenance is done. I can't remember what you said was done... What's been done to the car in the past 5 years? Anything recently?  David |

Marc looked at the car at carlise, the system holds vacuum fine, the secondaries open fine. Past 5 years... well there was: 02 sensors last year fuel injectors last year plugs last year wires last year complete ac system replacement this year and that's what I can remember off the top of my head, I'd have to look at my records to see what else was done but if it was something it wasn't major. Car is stock except for the front calipers/lines, the haibeck chip, and the coplan air duct. I wouldn't mind these issues if the cat had been through 4 shops and multiple engine builds, that's to be expected, but this is a factory car. Sure it's 23 years old but my this is getting excessive. I'm about ready to list it for sale.

Re: another day, another code...
Kevin:
Electrical gremlins are extremely difficult to track down and eradicate, especially ones that are intermittent. Took me better part of 3 years and untold hundreds of $$$ to finally track down to bad fuel injector to ECM contacts because I had stupidly shoved in my Digital Volt Meter's probe to check them when my injectors took a crap. Sounds to me like you have a similar, although different gremlin. Start backtracking to all the connecters that you have futzed with over the years. Betcha you'll find something. Sometimes it's the simplest things.......... Feeling your pain, 'Crabs
