OK i,ve had this ongoing problem with my talon for a long time which was stopping me from driving it with the fresh 6 bolt swap. The car would run like hell, buck violently, wouldnt idle for shit, also blew black and blue smoke that reeked of unburnt fuel. the cel's that would pop up are p0100,p0115,p0110,p0105. pretty much the whole entire maf system. normally any regular mechanic would switch out maf, and maybe the coolant temp sensor and would be stomped when it didnt work. next would be the ecu which is extremely exspensive(eeprom). I did plenty of research and found out a common problem when you o2 sensor shorts or similiar sensors temporarily short out for a stupid reason it will fry the ground sensor wire or trace on the ecu. So i said no shit and took out my ecu. what do you know? it was. problem solved. you can either resolder a new trace in or do what I did and go to any hardware store(murrays,autozone) and buy the windshield defrost repair kit which has like a conductive putty that comes with it and make another trace where it was burnt out because its a very small area to work with. I just want this to be a tech article for people with these problems because it was weeks of headaches for me to figure this out. Heres a link: blownsensorground [ECMTuning - wiki]
It says im too "new" to post this as an article so if someone could move this I aprreciate it. I just want everyone to see this for furthur reference to help people save money,time, and trust me lots of aggrivation.. good luck with this and make sure your fix doesnt interfere with any other part of the ecu or its not too strong because if it is/does it can fry your entire ecu and cause a bigger problem for yourself. Any questions just shoot me a PM ill give anybody some advice if they need it. Thanks
