542 = fuel pump secondary circuit failure


542 happens if engine stalls and can mostly be ignored

I hit the send button too soon. The 542 code can be ignored if the pump is actually working, which it seems that it is now. If you're getting fuel to the rails, the injectors aren't squirting, then you've probably found the next clue to getting it running.

Cool thanks! I found a guy who's selling me used injectors for $40 so I'll get those tonight I guess. I just really don't wanna take off the whole intake off again lol, but I guess I get to paint it now like I wanted too.

ok, but be careful painting it because you need to have some bare spots where the dis mounts and where the ground cable attaches to allow the dis to work. otherwise it won't start for a new reason...
