Hey all. I need help :)

Hey Guys,

New SHO owner here, I recently got a SHO and im having some trouble. I did the CEL tests and Got the Following.


KOEO:
117 - Engine Collant Temp Sensor
217 - Coil 3 Failure
212 - IDM circuit failure / SPOUT circuit grounded
215 - Coil 1 Failure
172 - 02 (before Cat reads lean RH)
176 - 02 (before cat reads lean LH)


KOER:
332 - EGR valve opening not detected.
521 - PSPS circuit did not change states.

Now the 02 ones I understand but the the others im at a loss.... It looks as if the previous owner painted the entire engine bay after he put in new plugs/ wires ( thats what he told me). I dont want to get all crazy with replacing things cause Im figuring its probably a ground issue. Which do you guys recommend me doing first? Oh and on a side note, sometimes the car runs fine. Idles and pulls hard... other times I can even be mid throttle and the car almost "retards" it self. Like it has only half or less power.

Edit: I did search on this forum and I will be cleaning the EGR "nostrils"

Thanks for everything!

Coil failure means bad DIS. I would start there.

DIS: SHO Source

This does sound like a DIS failure to me, but I wouldn't go buy one just yet. The first thing to do is make sure it is properly grounded. There should not be any resistance between the lower DIS bolts and the battery.

Oh ok. Ill check that. And wows... 250 for a DIS huh... maybe Ill go to a junkyard around here... lol. Thanks for the quick response!

Edit: Ebay has the DIS for only 25 bucks... not too shabby..

Either that or post a WTB ad on the forum. There's a section for that.
