koolminx Posted January 6, 2018 Author Share Posted January 6, 2018 Quick update. There is cranking volts getting to pin 81 on the ECM during cranking but with the key simply on there is a voltage drop at Penn 81. I am not getting spark at the moment which is one of the new tests that I redid so I'm going to replace ignition coil once again and see what happens and keep you informed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
koolminx Posted January 6, 2018 Author Share Posted January 6, 2018 And the injectors are getting 12 volts with key on and during crank Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gloyale Posted January 6, 2018 Share Posted January 6, 2018 Out of the four wires in the ignition switch which one sends power to the ECU I can trace everything from that point forward there should be 5 wires at the ig switch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
koolminx Posted January 6, 2018 Author Share Posted January 6, 2018 I will double check I could have swore it was for when I replaced the switch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
koolminx Posted January 6, 2018 Author Share Posted January 6, 2018 Yes getting spark... no pulse to injector until key released... I tgen jumpered starter, still no nois flash... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
koolminx Posted January 6, 2018 Author Share Posted January 6, 2018 Hey boys... like i said, Four wire ignition switch..... looking right at it. Still no pulse to injectors while cranking Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
koolminx Posted January 6, 2018 Author Share Posted January 6, 2018 I took a picture of the four wire ignition switch and it's too big to upload to this damn site so I'm frustrated I have 4 wires the power feed wire and 3 others. The power feed wire is black with a white stripe. Key on power is the bottom wire and the top wire the top wires black with a blue stripe and while cranking all of them light up except the black one with the blue stripe which stops lighting up when I start cranking is that the one that needs power?

koolminx Posted January 6, 2018 Author Share Posted January 6, 2018 I have a video to attach for the damn files too big it shows starting to crank in the Noid light flashing after the key is released and also put a new ignition coil on it nothing the ignition switch is working properly and so is the crank sensor in the cam sensor and there is fuel pressure Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
koolminx Posted January 6, 2018 Author Share Posted January 6, 2018 Well the video won't attach either and it was only 4 seconds long the Noid light flashes twice after the key is released as the engine stops I do not know what that indicates Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you have voltage at the injectors when cranking, check for voltage to fluctuate on the ground side at the injectors, then check for voltage fluctuating at the ECU pins for the injectors. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
koolminx Posted January 6, 2018 Author Share Posted January 6, 2018 Do not know which pins operate the injectors but I do know that the computer is not sending the ground signal to the injectors while the engine is cranking Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeneralDisorder Posted January 6, 2018 Share Posted January 6, 2018 You need to stop troubleshooting with Visa. Check all the power and ground supplies to the ECU. I really think you should check valve timing. My bet is that it has slipped time or broken the timing belt and the cam/crank reference pulses are not synced or don't exist.

koolminx Posted January 6, 2018 Author Share Posted January 6, 2018 If that were the case the car would not have done this for the last 3 months in a row lol. The timing has not slip the timing belt is new, under 10,000 miles. Tell me which pins to check the ECU for power if you will. This car has more grounds than any car I've seen and they are all clean and there are even extra ones somebody put in before i got it... I'm going to read through this PDF download of all of the internal Runnings of this car and find out where that damn pulse signal gets its information from when it has a good working cam sensor and crank sensor the mass airflow sensor is also good there's got to be more in direct link to the ecm sending the ground signal to the injectors.... and I'm not worried about the throttle position sensor, weather bad or good unplugged or plugged in they will not prevent the car from starting they will prevent it from idling normal when they go bad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
koolminx Posted January 6, 2018 Author Share Posted January 6, 2018 I cannot understand this damn wiring diagram in this PDF file it does not show me which wire's go to which pins for the signal at the ECM to open the injectors for the ground signal comes from this is just killing me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
koolminx Posted January 6, 2018 Author Share Posted January 6, 2018 I apologize for my frustration... I REALLLLLLY miss a good old carburetor, points and condenser and coil setup right now.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
koolminx Posted January 6, 2018 Author Share Posted January 6, 2018 My bet is on the ECU being faulty. Open it and check for any moisture. I've seen a number of them die and it's almost always the injector driver's that give out. GD Hey general, went over ECu with magnifying glass and reading glasses, it is in fantastic condition and no signs of even dust ever being on it.... I'm trying to upload a picture and a video, someone said I should have a 5 wire ign switch but it's only 4 with a 4 pin plug, and I took a short 5 second video of the cranking and release where the ground pulse to the injector causes the noid flash only after the key is released...

koolminx Posted January 6, 2018 Author Share Posted January 6, 2018 Ignition switch.. Any suggestions on where to host a 4 second video in MP4 format so you all can see it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
koolminx Posted January 6, 2018 Author Share Posted January 6, 2018 (edited) https://vimeo.com/249961789 Here it is, the noid light should flash on every injection which should happen every compression stroke.... Here's another video, doing it twice, but same results, unfortunately at this time I was down to 11 volts even, and KNOWING this subee, it's started with only 10.5 volts several times recently, but still, the injector signal only happens when the key is released, and I tested the 4 wires on the ignition switch and they're performing perfectly, so I reckon I need to charge up, and find an ECM to borrow and see if that's the culprit the entire time and that it's finally bitten the dust unless there are some tests any of you all can describe for me to follow to ensure it's bnot simply something I'm overlooking or a relay I havent tested yet, which I don't think there are any that cause this specific malady.... https://vimeo.com/249962653 Edited January 6, 2018 by koolminx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeneralDisorder Posted January 7, 2018 Share Posted January 7, 2018 (edited) Yeah I still think you need to try jumpering the ignition switch circuit so that it is sending power to the hot in start/run circuit all the time then try cranking it. Also sometimes with these ignition switches.... turn it very slowly till it just barely touches the start contacts. Don't push hard on it, and it might work. The connector pinout is in the FSM you can download from sl-i.net.... GD Edited January 7, 2018 by GeneralDisorder Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
koolminx Posted January 7, 2018 Author Share Posted January 7, 2018 (edited) I quite literally did that when I jumped a positive from the battery straight to the starter with the key in the on position back to the off position and back to the crank position with no results to the Noid light or to the car itself other than cranking.... Does anybody know which pins on the ECM to probe for a ground sequence for the injectors?? It's PDF download really did not help me all that much Edited January 7, 2018 by koolminx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeneralDisorder Posted January 7, 2018 Share Posted January 7, 2018 It's there in the manual. You just have to look harder. GD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
koolminx Posted January 7, 2018 Author Share Posted January 7, 2018 Me and electrical diagrams do not get along well when there are no pages to fold out and follow the line directly from say the injectors positive wire in the injectors signal wire back to the ECU Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sparkyboy Posted January 7, 2018 Share Posted January 7, 2018 (edited) Pin 81 gets voltage only during cranking, so it sounds lile yours os functioning normally. The pins that control the injectors are: cylinder #1 = pin 2 #2 = pin1 #3 = pin 18 #4 = pin 17 They are supposed to receive 10-13 volts with key on engine off, and 1-14 volts running pin 71 and 72 are injector grounds pin 25, 69, 95, 96, 45, 46 and 70 are grounds 95 and 96 are the ecu grounds, so double check those Pins 15 and 16 are ignition on circuits, pin 42 is always hot Odd that you lost spark for a bit...have you just tried starting her on carb cleaner?

koolminx Posted January 7, 2018 Author Share Posted January 7, 2018 Yes I find that Odd as well but seeing as how there are no damaged wiring harnesses and no damage to any of the electrical that I can find I will give the carb cleaner a shot this morning when I go to pick it up with my trailer. I will also do a voltage test to those pins in my ECM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sparkyboy Posted January 7, 2018 Share Posted January 7, 2018 Most of us know first hand how frustrating electrical problems can be, just keep at it man you'll figure it out. Make sure you take the intake tube off completely, and hold the throttle fully open when you try to start on the spray. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
