I was looking at this yesterday, cause I need some new hoses too. Im curious on this as well. Might buy it in a few weeks when I have some extra cash. Ill let ya know how they are.

Thank you, thats what I needed to know. I guess Im just gonna have to be patient and see what happens. I just wasn't sure if with that code present it caused the ECU to go into a safe mode, so as not to damage the ECU or anything. If that makes sense.

When I did the head gasket I replaced upper and lower radiator hose and some other lines. Don't worry your comment wasn't taken as rude, I know I should have checked the lines, I just didn't do as good as inspection as I thought. When I get this line line repaired Ill drive it and see what...

Would the 11 code have caused my issues? Even it being a soft code, or is there still likely a problem? I should have been more thorough when I inspected the hoses, Im going over all of the hoses this evening. Thank you for all the help you've been, I really appreciate it.

I left the battery cables off all night. This afternoon I reconnected them and started it up and it ran find, slight miss, but idles pretty good, revs good. ran it for about 2-3 minutes no issues. shut it off, and went to check codes. The CEL just flashes when I turn the ignition on with the...

Ill reset the ECU tonight, Ill report back tomorrow On another note, I cleaned up the battery ground to chassis, it was a little rusty. Tightened the grounds on the manifold, I cant find the ground strap from the head to the body anywhere. I read a post by jetjock that made perfect sense...

So I tried to pulled codes. I believe its code 11? Maybe Im wrong. There is a video below of my CEL. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FDXJuWe5XEw&feature=youtu.be

Any ideas what it would be? The Igniter test pointed to it, but if you have a better idea I would be happy to hear it. I don't want to false diagnose it and spend money where it isn't due.

I thought I put that in my original post, CEL isn't illuminated, I jumped the terminals when the problem began, and I didn't have any. Ill check tomorrow afternoon and see if I have any, but the last time I checked I didn't.

When I saw the tach losing signal I initially thought the CPS was bad, but I did the CPS test per the TSRM and it passed. Im thinkin that if the CPS triggers the ICM but the ICM doesn't fire, maybe the ECU doesn't see a RPM signal? If that makes sense. Im not real sure about the networking on...

I did several tests, the last test I did was the igniter test in the ICM, using 3v check for momentary ground at the coil connectors, I didn't have that. I checked all the fuses with a test light on both sides. I believe it is the ICM. I called several junk yards for one and no one has any...

Just pulled the number one plug out and it is black as night. They've only been run a minute or 2 at best, so am I looking at a AFM? or O2 sensor?

Little more info, I was being rushed before. Coils had .2-.4 ohms at the connector, wires leading to the coil ohmed out at .1 each. 12v at each coil. I wasn't able to ohm out the flush wires because my stupid meter probe was to short to reach the contact point on the wire. Plugs were gapped at...

Coils tested good, and the wires to the coils ohmed out good, 12 volts at the connectors to the coils. replaced the spark plugs and the misfire got worse

Below is a video I took a few minutes ago. It was missing pretty bad, you can hear it as I rev it up. I stopped the video and went and popped the hood, and by the time I got the hood open it died. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vJLz6vgXTTE&feature=youtu.be After it died I took this video...

I will try to get a video if it starts up later today. I haven't double checked the mechanical timing, simply because I would think that it would misfire all the time, not just after 2 minutes of running. Im not getting any backfiring or popping out of the exhaust and i can rev it (only went up...

So I started it up and it ran smooth, right at 1100 which is about right on cold start in 35* weather, idled fine for about 2 minutes and then started missing. I pulled the number one plug wire off the plug and i couldn't tell a noticeable difference in engine rpm, but it was fluctuating up and...

Im gonna try that today, I hope I have enough time when it starts to mis and before it dies to at least do a few cylinders. Ill report back later today. Thanks everyone.

There isn't any blue smoke out of the exhaust, just a significant unburned fuel smell, the valve guides were inspected by the machine shop and he said they looked fine. They also inspected the head for any cracks. I was leaning towards the CPS but I was confused about why it would run fine and...

Good afternoon everyone. New to the forum and have a question. First off I've tried searching but every time I try it comes up with a blank page with the SM logo at the top. I have a 88 MKIII with a JDM 7mgte, basically stock. I blew a head gasket the day after I bought it, or it was blown...
