Re: Milan died--fuel pressure good--spark?
OK ---I will just continue this thread solo as time permits in case it will help someone in the future.
My phone calls and research tell me this could very well be a pcm - ecm issue--all coils are not sparking with no codes. I found a few PCMs on nearly identical cars I wouldn't mind taking a chance on but PCM nodel numbers vary slightly so I just don't know squat about them... Still going to check the crank position sensor and go over the fuses again---Frustrating---Car was running great now it is a yard ornament--wife not happy in my old chevy truck---and when she aint happy....well any help appreciated. |

Re: Milan died--fuel pressure good--spark?
Today I am going to change the crank sensor and take off the throttle body so I can get a good look at the three rear coil over packs--I was told to look for melting or some type of heat related issue on them. Then put everything back in and re-test. As a side note I read in the owners manual and confirmed on multiple websites that the pcm (or ecu) is covered under a federal emissions warranty for 8/80. I called dealer and they acted retarded about it so I guess if my efforts today fail to raise a spark I will print the pdf and stick it in their face on tues morning. I will continue to report here as time permits in hopes of helping some other person in the future.
