    Ok, having a few issues. Jerking/rough idle..

    NTRA08: I did copy the entire conversation. Truth is your post history shows you have NFI about a lot of things. If I were you I'd take jdub's advice: read more and post less, especially in this section...

    Ok, having a few issues. Jerking/rough idle..

    Bulging brain? It's an old car not the Space Shuttle. And I don't think everyone is an idiot. The problem is some people refuse to learn basics and without an understanding of the fundamentals it's near impossible to puzzle something out. Still, all one has to do is follow the book. For the CPS...

    Do what Saw said. In other words follow the book. Not bashing you but I continue to be amazed at how many people have problems with the CPS thing. How can something so simple be so confusing?

    Car cranks but won't fire - SOLVED

    Sorry, sleepy time for me too. Btw all that's gonna do is buzz the FP relay, assuming everything else is working, which it apparently isn't. Looks like the main relay isn't closing. That would explain both issues...

    Car cranks but won't fire - SOLVED

    One reason I'm hesitant to get involved in some threads. Too much confusion. So let me see if I have this straight: you did all that fancy measuring and dickin' around in the first post yet you're expecting the engine to run with the MIL off? And you don't see a connection to it being off and...

    Well, you tell me then. If the engine has compression, correct timing/spark, and fuel is being injected it *has* to run. Verify everything again, including the CPS. edit: Did it run when you injected fuel? Stop making me drag stuff outta you...

    Gotta love dealing with people who've learned just enough to be dangerous. That's not what you said. You said the other coil is "just used for backup" in case the other one fails, implying the engine normally uses only one coil, which of course is wrong. You also stated you "had the...

    Check to see if it starts when fuel is added. If not check for power at the injectors through the resistor or check for +12 at all three ECU injector terminals with the key on engine off. That Fluke will be fine as it'll do pretty much everything needed. However I remind you it's simply a tool...

    Did you actually see spark? Power to the injectors? Does it start when fuel, carb cleaner, or starting fluid is injected into the manifold? A 51 will not prevent starting.

    1) Ox is raw signal. It's a direct connection to the sensor's output. 2) When not in diag mode Vf outputs learned value. 3) In diag mode with the idle contact open Vf outputs an emulated O2 signal. 4) In diag mode with idle closed Vf outputs a signal that shows if codes are present...

    Wiring question

    I assumed he was talking about illumination and already understood if the gage itself is powered from there it won't work unless the tail lights are on. After all, he chose that source. Put another way I was simply answering his question...

    Actually Ox is the sensor. Not that he couldn't use Vf, just that he'd have to go into diag mode and be off idle...
