    i was driving to school tonight, and my car fel flat on its ass. i was runign on 2 cylinders, w/ a flashin CEL. pulled of 394 and checked it out. the ignition wire going from the ECU to the right bank of the engine was loose and not igniting the spark plugs.


    so now i need to fix this problem ASAP.

    Heres the deal:
    Loose pin in ECU plug, causing bad connection on ECU.
    i need to resecure this pn so that it has a GOOD connection.
    i have no idea how.

    ideas anyone?

    EDIT: pictures, and i have tweaked the plug side conector alittle by bending up the shiny piece tht is directly below it. now the problem occurs less. i am out to test driv eit and see if it happens again.

    back form teh test drive. it seems to work fine. i added some tape to the wiring harnes to prevent it from moving around. hopefully it will work fine tommorow so i can get to school.

    those misaligned female terminal clips might give you problems.
    everytime you go to plug the harness back together you will have to be supercarefull not to bend a pin.

    i tweaked the famel connectors alittle so that they will stay in place better. and so far i have had no issues.
