Any of you gurus down here willing to help me out with an electrical/mechanical gremlin I've been chasing for six months now?
Used to be I would get an intermittent sputtering and stalling, with sometimes a code 42, especially in hot weather, so i thought maybe coils... Nope.
Still had the problem. Replaced ECM... Nope. New chip? nope.
Replaced the ignition control module... Nope. Worse than ever. Now its a constant Code 42. Drives like ****, doesn't like to shift into 4th, and in an unrelated problem, now pisses coolant at any RPM higher than about 2000. Horrible steam pouring into the cabin.
EDIT: Also sometimes now at idle, the scan tool shows 000 for o2... WTF
I'm about to just buy a new car. I've had it for over 4 years now, and I don't want to, but i just can't keep pouring money into a car that can't get me where i need to go.
Please guys. PM me if a call would be more helpful... Thanks a bunch.
