I'm working on a 94 loyale w/ SPFI. When cold, the car idles high, then drops to almost zero, then returns to a high idle. Inconsistent, and the rpm drops occur with throttle closed or open.
I had the ecu hanging to see the codes (check engine light was on) and it was throwing a 14. Injector reads proper continuity as far as I can tell, although I don't know what a mega-ohm is, to check for ground continuity?
When i went to put the ecu back under the dash, the car would die virtually every time I turned the ecu from vertical to horizontal. I tried to determine if it's a loose wire under the dash or a bad connection in the ecu.
I examined the board with a magnifying glass, and the 8th pin from the left, top row, has what appears to be a crack or gap where it goes into the board, and when I check the continuity through to the first connection I get an intermittant open circuit.
My questions are: what is this circuit? anyone else dealt with this problem? How do i verify the proper continuity of the injector to ground? anything else i should be doing to troubleshoot this?
thanks
