  • 3.4 slow to go, Did you fix code 42?

    I was reading your other string from thirdgen and noticed that you never talked about it. The EST controls your advanced timing and if its not plugged in or connected properly, you will not have any advanced timing ie sluggish and no acceleration. But to properly time your car, you would have to unplug said connector which will be located in the wiring harness by your blower motor. Its a brown with black stripe and the connector will be hanging out of the wiring harness in plain view. I am wondering if you ever found it.

    Yup, it was one of the many connectors that were melted. & cut the connector of & crimped on some "weather proof" connectors. Timed it as best I could ( un connected) then set it back up. It around 12*, as I transferred the timing teeth from the 2.8 to an approximate location on the 3.4 water pump. It runs, drove it home last night, & will see how it does @ 45mph today.

      It did good @ 45. Started to miss a little, & I think I know why. Voltage regulator crapped out. Battery was going low as I drove :eek: [img]graemlins/dunce.gif[/img] [img]graemlins/dunce.gif[/img] , getting new alt tonight.
