I have 93 SC 5 spd; the problem I have is when I am driving some times, my tach will go dead, at the same time if the car is moving the car will buck for a second and keep driving or if I am stopped the car will stall and I can not start it for at least 5-10 minutes. The check engine light will also illuminate a second after the tack goes limp. The car also feels a little ruff while this takes place. If I turn off car while tach is dead and engine light is on I can not start it again for a few minutes. Most of the time if I am driving a steady speed for a while while tach is dead, the tach will start working again after about 10-20 minutes and the engine light will go off and car feels smooth again like nothing happened.
When I put my car on the diagnostice I got a code of 212 "Loss of Tach imput to ECA; SPOUT circuit grounded". I have been working on cars for years and even was a mechanic for 3 years, but I can not figure out what this is trying to tell me. What is the ECA? AN ECM probably or DIS I am not sure. And the only spout I know of is the one you remove to check the timming. I have a suspect on the fauty component, but I want to make sure that it is that before I blow a 100 dollars to replace the part. I am sure this same problem has happened to some one else. Please help if yall can. I need advise and/or second opinion. Thank you and God Bless.
