From Mr. Pathetic...

I'm on the verge of giving up with this car and parting it out. It shows multiple error codes. The datalogger I plugged in shows the TPS at 99% and it doesn't change when the throttle is moved. Most of the temp sensors read about -50-degrees C. Basically, everything is out of whack as far as the sensors go. It barely starts and the plugs are black. It had been running fine and then...

I checked the TPS and it tests fine- I'm pretty sure the other sensors are OK also. The grounds look good.

Any suggestions? I'm about ready to start disassembling this thing to sell the pieces...

Thanks

Sounds like a bad ECU. One easy way to check is to turn the key to "on". If the CEL light stays on the whole time, the ECU is no good. Or you just borrow one from someone and try it in your car.

Thanks, Dave-

I don't know anyone nearby with an ECU and I'd hate to damage it if there were something wrong with my car that knocked out my ECU...

Order a new one..or find one somewhere in a junk yard. They're not that exspensive used, or you can get one rebuilt by some companys I believe.
