 Subject: No start and MIL light quit
IP: Logged
Message:
Hello everyone, first of all this is a great site you have here. It's helped me through a couple problems.
Anyway, here's the story- a few weeks ago, my '93 v6 started giving me starting problems. (After some serious mud bogging a few weeks prior) Instead of the quick rev-rev-start i'm used to, it would take a little longer- then longer then nothing. Had a friend look at it, he bled the fuel pressure test port and it started right up. After running for a while it would start with no problem for up to a day. If it sat any longer than a day i'd have to bleed again and it'd start right up. It was running pretty crappy so i didn't take any immediate action except to change the wires and plugs. Then it quit again.
Managed to get it to flash a 42 code (ASD circut- i think) once but never again. Anyway- there was no spark or fuel pressure. Checked the relays by jumping them with 12v and they clicked normally, then checked the voltage from the computer with the key on and nothing. So the relays (fuel pump and ASD) are not activating. Now somewhere along the line the check engine light stoped coming on. Now it dosen't even light up when the key is on. Could this be a computer problem?
Read somewhere the computer won't initiate spark if the crankshaft position sensor dosen't pulse- so i cleaned that out and replaced it.
Since then, I've also replaced the cap, rotor, hall effect sensor, and battery. Have also checked wiring harness for coroded connections and stuff. Any suggestions? The fact that the MIL light quit coming on is pretty concerning and makes me think the computer craped out- but purchacing a new computer is kinda an expensive troubleshooting procedure- not being returnable.
Any help would be greatly appricated
Thanks,
Mike Ward

Sounds like you need a comp. if you have no 12v at those relays and, the crank sensor does send a pulse to the comp.

sorta what i'm afraid of- gonna try to salvage one from the junk yard.
Anyone know of any good junk yards in the Detroit area? I know a few in Ann Arbor but that's a hike from where i live now.
