Lol omg.. I thought I had this dealt with, but apparently not.
It seems as though all my problems are stemming from igniton. For awhile there i thought it was fuel related.
To catch you up.
The coil pack's and or the Icm would die every 6 months or so. (They were both replaced under warranty everytime so not sure which one it was, or if it was infact both)
The car would run great with the new coils/icm. Then progressively loose power moth after month. Also developing a loud pop on decell.
The Signal wires/Cam out wires were re-ran to the pcm. The icm was then grounded directly to the main head ground.
At this point i thought I had solved the problem. No icm or coil pack failure in about a year.....
Then this morning after 1 min of driving..... the car starts running on 2 cylinders again....
Typical sign of this failure....
So... any ideas?
I dont think I ever had the power wire to the icm coming from the pcm rewired.... Intermittent short?
I think so.....
Also I'm going to a engineer friends house tonight, so I can keep you guys posted on any findings....
I really hope this will help someone with similar problems.. God knows there's some one out there like me.....
Would it be possible to use a voltage regulator when I re-wire the power connection?
So I looked up the wiring schematics, and the pcm-icm voltage line is tee'd into my cluster.
Which is important to me, because recently I had to replace my cluster for failing.....
So obviously I have some sort of short or something in this line, causing my icm to fail, causing my coil packs to fail.
The line is listed as Ignition voltage 1, pin 19 on the small connector on the pcm, which runs to the fuse block in the car. Checked this fuse and it looks fine.
It then is run under the dash and tee'd into the cluster then ran to the icm as the main voltage line.
So I'm wondering how to rewire this...
I would have liked to just run the wire straight from the icm to the pcm with a fuseable wire, but wtf about the cluster....
I'm guessing the cluster wont turn on unless it's tee'd into this line...
So... I was thinking I could do my under the hood straight up rewire, and take the old wire which is still tee'd into the cluster and tap that into a hot on run/start line in the fuse panel.
Will this work?
i have like 5 icm's if you need one haha.
Heck yeah man, I'll PM you.
Bump!
Can some one give some insight?
let me know if you still need a coil pack or 2... lol
