i know theres at least one guy on here thats switched to a ls type ignition with the individual coils but i cant remember who. read it a while ago. u have to switch a mess of stuff so finding a wrecked ls would be a must. there are some aftermarket setups around but its not something i have looked into. i know there expensive so thats as far as i got with that.

 

okay... after 3 weeks of running the car in the gerage and dying.. i was finally able to pull a trouble code p0336.. could this be why it dies sometimes? How do i go about checking to make sure this is not just a fluke...... oh and by the way i went and replaced the distributor, cap and rotor.... again....

 

sounds like the opti. read the part on p0336 and see if it helps.

for some reason i cant open that pdf file... but its a brand new distributor.. DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE (DTC) - P0336 58X CRANKSHAFT POSITION SENSOR NO PLAUSIBLE SIGNAL.... thats exactly what my auto X-ray told me it was... so ur telling me a brand new distributor is bad?

 

i tried to copy it. see if it makes sense. could be a bad connection somewhere along the wireing or a bad ecm. im pretty sure the crank sensor is in the opti on your yr.



DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE (DTC) – P0336 58X CRANKSHAFT POSITION
SENSOR NO PLAUSIBLE SIGNAL
Circuit Description
The 58X reference signal is produced by the crankshaft
position (CKP) sensor. During one crankshaft revolu-
tion, 58 crankshaft pulses will be produced. The engine
control module(ECM) uses the 58X reference signal to
calculate engine rpm and CKP. The ECM constantly
monitors the number of pulses on the 58X reference cir-
cuit and compares them to the number of camshaft posi-
tion (CKP) signal pulses being received. If the ECM
receive and incorrect number of pulses on the 58X refer-
ence circuit, DTC P0336 will set.
Conditions for Setting the DTC

This DTC can be stored in “key-on” status.

Detected number of teeth is differs by 3 or higher.
Action Taken When the DTC Sets

The Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL) will illuminate.

The ECM will record operating conditions at the time
the diagnostic fails. This information will be stored in
the Freeze Frame and Failure Records buffers.

A history DTC is stored.
Conditions for Clearing the MIL/DTC

The MIL will turn off after four consecutive ignition
cycles in which the diagnostic runs without a fault.

A history DTC will clear after 40 consecutive warm-up
cycles without a fault.

DTC(s) can be cleared by using the scan tool.

Disconnecting the ECM battery feed for more than 10
seconds.
DIAGNOSTIC AIDS
An intermittent may be caused by a poor connection,
rubbed-through wire insulation or a wire broken inside
the insulation. Check for :
Poor connection – inspect the ECM harness and con-
nectors for improper mating, broken locks, improperly
formed or damaged terminals, and poor terminal-to-wire
connection.
Damaged harness – inspect the wiring harness for dam-
age. If the harness appears to be OK, disconnect the
ECM, turn the ignition ON and observe a voltmeter con-
nected to the 58X reference circuit at the ECM harness
connector while moving the connectors and the wiring
harness related to the ECM. A change in voltage will in-
dicate the location of the fault.
Review the failure records vehicle mileage since the
diagnostic test failed may help determine how often the
condition that caused the DTC to be set occurs. This
may assist in diagnosing the condition.

okay, that sounds like a plan.. how much is a bench test on the ECM? Just to make sure that its still good.

 

I checked the ECM today by tapping on the ECM while the car was running and no changes to the motor occured when i did that. Another code came up also "p0420". I have a brand new cat. also.

 

hey i finally was able to capture that click on vidio with sound.. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4f6mJGM9ZCM there it is... the motor's starter is never attempted to be engaged... the key is turned only to "on" or "run" never "start"

 

i believe there is a starter inabler on the door side of the glove compartment under the dash.

 

the click in the vodio is comming from the front intake manifold area
