Zoomx2,
1st make sure your battery terminals are clean and making good contact. The black cable is the "main" ground. Follow it to its other end and make sure it is clean and making good contact.
Next, there is a ground wire near the battery, between the battery and the power steering pump resivior, screwed into the sidewall (passenger fenderwell). Make sure it is clean and well connected.
On the passenger side, in the back of the intake manifold, the top bolt for the manifold support bracket has a ground wire attached to the bolt. The wire then goes to the firewall, and is held to the firewall with a screw. Clean these connections if there are any signs of corrosion.
Try unplugging, and plugging back in, all harness connections. Before plugging them back in check for signs of corrosion. Also look for any freyed, or rubbed through wires that could be shorting out, or grounding out, sensor(s).
The 60 pin connection to the computer, through the firewall, is held together with a 10mm bolt. Remove the bolt and gently remove the connection. Again check for signs of corrosion, or otherwise poor connections.
When your done with all of this, take the jumper wire you made to check codes and use it to clear the codes. Take a break, have a Molsons, then try to start the car. If it does not start, or runs poorly, recheck the codes. Address the codes by first checking the wires to the sensors that coded.
Look for poor connections, freyed or rubbed through wires, broken wires, shorted wires, etc. An electrical multimeter with the ability to check amps, volts, ohms, and continuity, is a necessity.
While your freezing your but off doing all that, I'm going to have a cold Molsons.
I thought you Canadians liked the cold, you know ice fishing, ice hockey, ski-dooing, eh!
Let us know how your doing, and we will get you through it from our WARM easy chairs! rangerj
By the way was that 120 KPH, or MPH, on the exit ramp?
