anyone have ignitor/ICM problems?

believe soo. i'll just cut a hole on top like i did with the sedan. got tired of dropping the tank (twice). that aint fun.

Dropping the tank is no fun. I have done it twice!

looks like i may have a lead.

engine cold, i test the injector resistor box. all leads test to 6 ohms. i let the car warm up and so on, pretty much try and bring some heta to the engine bay. i shut the car off and test the leads. about two of the leads fluctuate and then maybe about 2 minutes later, all the leads come back to 6ohms.

the injector resistor box on the project car tests to a consistent 6 ohms so looks like i may be pulling it off there just to get the car to run like normal. im going to run the same test but after a long drive.

also...
-check spark plugs (looks bitchin but i already developed a small leak from the valve cover o ring gaskets, i only have 15k miles on them!)
-vacuum manifold pressure is at 23 which is kinda high but may be due to a slightly high idle -800 rpm
-fixed a vacuum cap whoich had a crack in it.
-checked FIV
-checked consistency of injector noise via screwdriver test

so basically the resistor box is messing up 2 injectors and causing them to fluctuate which leads to not getting enough gas thru them....

go job wes! swap and let me know

same here, i hate it!

and fuel delivery by the injectors is determined on how long the injector is opened. at light accel and cruising, the motor doesnt demand much so the amount of power going to the injectors will be minimal. if the resistor box has high resistance especially when heat is introduced, it will not complete the loop but short out?

when you introduce more voltage and current, it will be able to jump the gap and run decently.

kinda same thing with burned spark plug wires, it will jsut arc to the engine and that cylidner will miss.

i really hope my theory is right.

[cali-racer]

i hope u is right too!!

the last thing i wanna do is take it to get a diagnostic test.

[wed3k]

you shoulda done some diagnostic before replacing that fuel pump. wasted hella time.

was gonna do it in the first place cuz the previous owner said he never changed it out. so i was gonna put it in anyways so i know it'll last another 14yrs but been too lazy. only took me an hour, taking my time at it.

[cali-racer]

probably go to the picks and grab all the injector resistor box out there and test them lol... since there small to pocket.

well, it got so bad today, it actually killed the car when idling. swapped the resistor box out and so far it is good. we are hitting record temperatures in the middle of the week so lets see how well this box will stand up.

weird. my car never died on me. this shit is stressing me out!

tried resistance on injectors? because a motor can still run on three cylinders...

my shit smells so rich now, time to advance the timing

true, im lookin up old threads on it and its leaning more towards injectors.

eric, can you get some pics of how you did the fuel pump so i know how when i change mine... thanks
