We have a 90 L98 engine Vette.
Customer says no start. He then screws w/ putting in a new dist module, and tries to set the initial timing at 6*..No dice. can't get the 6*. Calls us, gets it running well enuf to drive it over.
We have another new module, new PCM/memcal, installed.
The dist cap was rotated into the back of the plenum, so we backed the shaft up 2 teeth, disconnected the EST wire, and set the ignition at 6*. Plugged the EST back in.. NO start. Twisted the dist to get max timing, Starts but runs poorly. Moved the dist again, to smooth out the idle.
Cannot accelerate the engine off idle. Got the code 42.
Dumped the code, by disc the batt. Unhooked the EST, fired up. Plugged the EST back in. Ok til the next start cycle.
This is a speed density car, so no excessive sensor inputs to mess with. TPS is set to .54, per GM spec.
NE1 have a clue as to where to start?
