    Default Failing PCM???

    At the track this weekend I logged one of my runs and discovered numerous DTC codes. Some of them happened more than once. I have never seen this before. The car ran great and still runs fine. Here is a list of them in the order they appeared during a seven minute time span:
    Codes:
    41 EST Open
    65 Right O2 Rich
    37 Brake Switch Stuck On
    23 MAT Low
    55 Fuel System Lean
    85 TCC Stuck On
    66 A/C Press Sensor Open/Short
    14 Cool Temp High
    46 Fuel Enable [VATS] Fail
    16 Lo-Res Fail
    71 A/C Evap Sensor Failed
    22 TPS Low
    99 Tach Ouput Circuit Fault
    32 EGR System Fault
    68 A/C Relay Shorted
    51 EPROM/Flash Checksum Fail

    Ummm.......wow. Those seem to all be for the most part totally unrelated too. Try a spare PCM if you can, see what happens.

    Start load teating powers grounds to the pcm. Then I'd pick one code to diag and see if anything is out of the ordinary

    I'm going to go through all the grounds when I get a chance. Hopefully tonight.

    Fastbird those codes are whacked right? Especially since I have EGR and VATS tuned out.

    I found something last night. I was looking at the wiring on the MSD 6A box and noticed one of the wires that plugs into the coil was frayed. When I went to remove it the wire broke in half so I removed the whole box. It never did anything anyway. I will log data in the next day or so to see if that was it.

    It was definitely the MSD 6A box. Ran the car yesterday and no codes at all.
