Seeing as this is your third 6gc, why not go all out?! You'll wish you hadn't sold it a few months down the road anyway. With that much time and effort invested, keep going. Get a beater for DD'ing an...

Drove the car some Sunday since replacing the ECU, felt comfortable enough to drive it to work today (35 miles one way). So a little over 100 miles on the ECU from Lamont and I can CONFIRM the ECU was...

Received the ECU today, hooked it up and all seems to be well! Let the car run for a solid 30 minutes and it's ran like a champ. No sputtering whatsoever. I'll give it test drive tomorrow and see what...

So I got a message from another member on the site who's able to sell me his ECU for $40 shipped, priority. Funds have already been transferred so I should have it in my hands in the next couple days....

I will definitely confirm whether the ECU is the problem once I get one in my hands. I went to Raleigh today and left empty handed, it was a 7a. Dammit, if it had fenders worth a crap it could've made...

Alright, here we go
Checked continuity at the ECU plug that runs to the diz.
NE+ and NE- should be 375-530
I picked up 450
G+ and G- should be 185-275
I picked up 230

Ok thanks Vav, I found which pins are for the diz yesterday in the ECU plug, just wasn't sure of correct testing, that and the rain picked up a bit. I'll check it out

I'll check the continuity this afternoon looks like I'll have some free time to mess with it today.
When checking continuity all I need to do is hold one lead to ground and the other to one of the con...

Sweet it worked. At first glance I didn't notice anything but looking at the second pic the large gray resistors and powdery blues to the left caught my attention. Maybe they're supposed to be that wa...

Alright, time for an update.
Checked the coolant temp sensor prior to cranking, outside temp here today's around 65*F. Resistance was just under 3 kOhms, which by the graph is accurate I'd say. Fired ...

Will do, when I noticed that, the post I saw on another website about the temp sensor seems feasible. I'll give them all a check today if I don't get rained on.

Yeah that's what's odd. Originally even with the code 12 the car drove fine. After the salvage replacement it was fine for about a year, so I figured it gave out, def got my $35 out of it. So went new...

Awesome, thanks for that. Yeah the plug is quite brittle and the locking tab is broke so it doesn't "snap" on anymore but still stays pretty snug. Definitely does get hot too. I'll bust out the multi...

Ok cool. Yeah I'm familiar with the ECU location but never actually pulled it out and looked at it. It's definitely worth looking at. Far as the ground on the intake, it's good, I know that's a common...

Yeah I suspect it could be the plug for the dizzy, but not certain. Can the ECU be disassembled or at least have a cover plate I can remove and take a peak? Few weeks ago the code 12 popped back up an...
