Ok question for you guys. Driving the car last night on the way home from a friends, there is this little civic with underbody lights on it trying to plan with me in the turbo sc...so i "theoretically" dont turn down the opportunity, and walk all over him, but as i get to about the end of third i loose all power and she falls flat on her face.
Tach goes all over the place and has no power, but doesnt die.
Tach is still operation somewhat but doesnt follow the revs of the engine.
I limp it home and pull codes this morning
511- rom fail = car has a chip
212- loss of tach/spout circuit
216- coil 2 primary circuit fail
replaced the ICM because it seemed to be pretty common problem obviously. Didn't solve the problem. but now i have a spare. The icm is mounted on an aluminum bracket due to engine changes, and battery ground/engine to body ground is located at the bottom of the bracket where it is bolted to the head. I'm assuming there isn't a grounding issue, it has been this way for a while without problem.
Looked at the hb and it didnt appear to be wobbling any direction, and i completely pulled apart the wiring for the icm, crank and cam sensor to see if there was a wire fault. nothing appears to be wrong there.
Then i disconnected the battery in an attempt to clear codes, left it off for about 2 minutes, then unplugged the cam sensor and started again. tach obviously wan;t working and it seemed to have a little better response, but still not great, so i am wondering if it is the cam sensor im looking at or not. i wasnt sure if the sensor was pulled and is supposed to run great or not.
Any help would be appreciated, i kind of have to figure it out cause i am hoping to go to the iowa sc/gtp clash on saturday. perfec timing
