Thanks I’ll chk the diagnostic again ???and take a pic this time ….

Replaced fuel pump and coil and I’m getting a e333??? Did not see it on the list of codes?????

Re the 042 code I was able to remove the connection at the coil and spray electronic cleaner and retighten. The code hasn’t resurfaced when I ran the diagnostics …. It restarts but dies quickly and when it dies catch it runs poorly but again no codes…

Cam sensor appears in after removing electrical connector….going to clean up other grounds etc and see. Again it will start and run rough and then die….when it starts it feels like it’s missing but I’m getting good fuel pressure???

Thank you. I read the write up !!!! im chking and will report results..,

Re the cam sensor I’m not getting a 041code or a chk engine light. I’m going to chk the cam sensor and go from there….

Okay icm cleaned up,sprayed electronic cleaner on the connection and put it back on. It started up after a few tries but it ran and idled a bit rough but an improvement…only code displayed was 132c and no check engine light!!! I’ll try and drive it and see if it evens out and next I need to get it smogged for current dmv tags…

I’m getting 40 on my pressure gauge when I connect the green wire to plus 12 but when I get it started and disconnected the wire it drops to 35 and won’t idle???? Chking the diagnostics I’m getting a 42c. So trying to connect the dots..????

Thank you will do…

Sorry….yes bcm codes.

No chk engine light…history codes are 111, 119, 132, 336,440, 552 and 061…. I’m ordering a fuel pressure gauge.

My 90 vert is running poorly. No current codes using diagnostic? Feels like it’s not getting gas and struggles to start. I’m going to chk the fuel filter but I think I should be getting some error code or clue as to what to fix???

1990 reatta with ipc issues. When it works it shows no current codes and chk engine light not on. I need to get it smogged, California. Will it pass if the ipc goes blank during test???

Thanks for your help...my intention is not to exasperate but to get a clue so I can get my car back on the road...and you have been a great help thanks....

thanks....the key was off...seems strange that cleaning up the negative connections got it to run but i was concerned why previously the #8 cci fuse was blowing and that cleaning the negatives had anything to do with the fuse blowing????

after getting it to run i checked the negative cable bolt and replaced it. i then checked the connection between the cable and battery with my test light and noticed it was lit possible indicating a short??? i pulled the fuses again one at a time and noticed the test light went out when i pulled the cps fuse. so is there a short in the cps circuit any clues and advice at this point??? trying to get down the road!!!!!!

Got it to run but was having a problem getting it to idle. went back over my ground cables since they were the last thing i touched and found the negative battery cable was loose. Tightend it up and voila it began to idle!!!! looks like the ground connections in the reatta are pretty important!!!!! thanks for all the help but stand by now as i go out and test her on the road this week thanks again talipp.....

okay cleaned off battery cables noticing that the ground cable had a bad connection. checked for power to the pink #1wire to the icm and there was power. put in a new fuse into #8 and she fired up???? going to charge battery up to 100% and check all grounds and try again tomorrow. must have moved something to the good but what??? again il check tomorrow.....thanks again for all the good info...

thanks very much. i will check out the wiring tomorrow. I think it will be the icm. should i buy the coils new also???

so the pump is working when i apply power to the bypass test. When i turn the key on i get power to #8 fuse which then pops. i need to get a schematic of that circuit to check it. Again I'm not getting any spark which leads to believe it is the icm but i would like to make sure before i spring for the igniter and the coils.

Thanks for all the good info.... went out to work on the problem and the battery was discharged. I'm letting it charge up. My question is if the #8 fuse is popped the fuel pump should still energies when I put 12volts to the bypass wire???

To disconnect fuel pump do I pull the relay???

When I put my test light to the fuel pump test (green plug/grey wire )the test light illuminates...I think then that the test plug is grounding out???? can I disconnect the grey wire at the pump and can I get to it??
