Ok so the Check engine light and the random hesitation has drove me nuts long enough (a week). I pulled the codes and I am getting a 214 CID error.
Ok, so I read up, and replaced the original Cam Position Sensor (295,000 miles!) with one I had pulled out of the wrecking yard long ago, put it back together and reset the computer, light came on.
Ok... Maybe the crank sensor is flaky, replaced it, starts better but light is still on.
Ok. So maybe ignition control module, I pull the battery out, and pull the module out, looking down into the plug on the module I see what looks to be discolored or melted plastic on pin 9 which appears to be a ground.
Before I shell out the $200 on a new module, is there any way to test it?
Thanks!
