    rewire the coil pack connector

    Been seeing an apparent coil pack wire to harness connector issue that shows itself with a slight miss in warm restarts after parking for periods of time. I find that moving the connector a bit relieves it. I was led to this after an afterfire symptom (blown out muffler) led to a no start status...

    CPS early/late interchange? & code 11

    CPS early/late interchange? & code 11 Do early 86-88 and late 89+ CPS interchange? Is the plug the same even though different color? My wrench says they are the same. Story: Parked my 7mgte and wouldn't start the next AM. No new codes, and there was fuel and spark from the coil to the...

    Code 51 Understanding

    7mgte in my 85 automatic. Does a code 51 cause any ECU engine management changes? I am guessing that it doesn’t because it signals 3 unrelated causes. I am getting a code 51 and the TPS was OK a few months ago. AC is off. But I do have a neutral start issue occasionally (over 1yr or...

    Codes 21 & 42 fixed ???

    On my pre 89 harness, 7mgte MK2 auto, I have had a continuing code 51 and an occasional neutral start issue where I would have to shift it to neutral or so in order to start. But the codes 21 & 42 (along with the 51) showed up after MPG went to 13-15 mpg from 19-20 mpg on 2 tankfulls...

    Hard start/Funny idle - 7mgte ISC problem? Is this an ISC problem? Maybe it isn't closing fully? or?? Any other ideas? Where do I start looking? Out of nowhere, my 7mgte began to start funny. I would have to work the throttle to get it to start and then continue to work the pedal to...

    TPS and Throttle valve

    Can someone confirm?? for a 7mgte (or 5mge, for that matter) Shouldn't the throttle body butterfly valve be shut tight in the idle position? I got another throttle body to clean and use as a replacement for mine and it isn't shut tight. Neither the 7mgte nor the 5mge TSRM are clear. It is...

    Fix/replace 7mgte AFM? What is the status of dealing with a bad AFM? It's unclear from my research what the reliable and reasonable ways are to go. Some observations and questions for discussion. 1. There is no complete test to check it. The TSRM test does not tell the story. 2. Is there no...

    7mgte CPS connector/wires

    12/1/2006 Got my CPS rewired 2 days ago. The shop soldered another used connector with good wires (from a pic-a-part) to the outside wires of the CPS. They shrink wrapped the connections, put some 1/4" flexible conduit around it and taped over that. Shop charged $30. While I might have done it...
