try hooking up your o2 sensor before redlining your engine :roll: I don't think you'll ever sell a used engine on this site now :lol:

- Wed Jun 10, 2009 4:07 pm #122015 these are the codes i got

15 Ignition output signal

41 Primary oxygen sensor heater

the harness where the connectors for the distributor are alll hacked up and one wire is actually is bearly connecting so that might explain # 15 ( will try and rewire it or get new connectors)

but now for #41 i know the sensor isnt hooked up but its not flashing # 1 or even a # 61

when i get off work i might buy a o2sensor and see wht happens

- Fri Jun 12, 2009 5:09 pm #122612 is it a 1992? 92 distributors are known for wearing out. The bearings on mine went in 2002. I bought a new shell from the dealer and swapped all the electrical guts from my old dizzy. much cheaper than a whole new dizzy...
