I really do not know what to do with this car... I am moving to Wyoming June 1st, to go to Wyotech, and I can not take the car with me. I still don't know what is wrong with it, and don't know if I ever will. I need to sell it, but I want to DRIVE the car so bad. Should I try to sell it as is or try and replace more parts? I need someone to look at it because I am at a loss. I get different codes every time I check them. I don't know anymore.

I have friend going to wyotech right now. he should be done in august. he could probably help you with what ever you need.

I think I have a lo5 computer for an 89 or such I know its not a x2j u can have it for free

That would be awesome, I would appreciate that if you could.

I would love to take the SHO to Wyotech but I can't, already towing my truck with the u-haul and the gf is driving her car. But I could probably fix it up there for sure. My ccrm is an M by the way, and I got 213 and 542 last I checked. I believe those are DIS and BP sensor codes. I have switched out the DIS with no good results. I really think it is the ECU and I hope it is.

213 is SPOUT circuit open.
542 is Fuel pump secondary circuit failure.

Sure that is what you are getting?

does it run?

whats the fuel pressure?

u got a good ground all around the DIS, the dis itself, with gel shit on it, theres a couple ground straps aft of the DIS on the intake where the crossover tube connects to the plenum.

makes a difference.........

I messed up once and that caused it not to fire up

the first couple questions relate to that fuel pump code.... if it doesn't even run you might not have gas.... and if it does run... you might not have enough gas

I was putting out 8 psi one time and it had problems shutting off etc... and it was intermittent to boot

I put the entire fuel tank from that orange + into the 94 and it worked good after that

sadly its the only damn reason I can come up with as to why the headgasket blew also... runing lean possibly?

Okay the codes were from what I remember, but I did get a BP sensor code and DIS code. It does run. Like shit. Getting fuel to the spark plugs and looks like good spark from the coil but weak spark on most and hardly any on cylinder 1. I thought that the head gasket was blown but we came to the conclusion that is not blown. It ran fine and one day the ce came on and ran extremely rich and then the ECU blew, got another one and now it has no good spark. Its ********. CCRM, coil, DIS, wires, plugs, grounds, timing all check out and are good. Thats all I know.

oh yeah, I dont know the fuel pressure but it does hit the hood from the little valve on the fuel rails. I could hook up a guage and check it out but I think it is fine.
