How and why is code 41 gone. What did you do?

Ditto for code 51?

i adjusted the TPS, read on a couple older threads and saw that if i dont turn it all the way back when bolting it in it will throw code 41, so i back the screws out a half turn and adjusted it. cranked it for 5 seconds then pulled codes, everything was clear. 30 mins later i crank it for 10 seconds, then it wont crank anymore. i pulled codes and got the 12. checked my grounds again, still not cranking.

i dont get why it wouldnt show the 12 before along w/ the 41, and it only showed up after it wouldnt crank anymore.


on a side note, i just realized today that my EGR VSV doesnt constantly click anymore... i actually think it stopped when i swapped out the ECU.

eh? im all confused here.
im sooooooo fustrated right now, i have to take the starter off cuz i think its bad. the wires going to it have continuity but it doesnt crank.

how much you guys think it would cost for me to drop it off at a shop and tell them to get it running for me? i need this thing running ASAP and i really dont think i'll ever get it running right now...

i just plugged it in. apparently early 89's could plug into the yellow plug ECU. now i dont even know if the engine is pre 89. the t-stat housing looks like its from an 89+.
theres a lot of things about this car thats aggrivating me (no ABS, cruise control, missing plugs, etc).
now i gotta take off the starter, and im about to say fuckit and sell this thing... im not gonna pull the engine halfway apart just to take off the starter.

the only way this things gonna get running is if somone else does it cuz apparently it wont start for me....

I'm very interested to know how he got an an 87 Turbo ECU with yellow plugs to fit into an 89+ chassis wired for an N/A (grey plugs?).

He says he used the 87 turbo harness

OK. Wait. Maybe I misread early on in the thread, are you saying that you are using an NA harness still?!

lol, comon guys, gimme some credit here. i DID do reasearch before i took on this project. im using the 87 turbo m/t harness with the 87 turbo m/t ECU, and the turbo AFM out of the 87. same with the igniter and whatnot. i basically took the whole 87 engine bay and put it in my 89 chassis.

*update*
we took the starter out and bench tested it, didnt work. fiddled around withna few things, it works now. put it back in the car and took all the plugs out, crank it over and gas shoots about 2 feet in the air, and not a mist either. so now im waiting for everything to evaporate and tomorrow im gonna put the plugs back in and give it another go. *crosses fingers*

oh ya, and i found those brown ground wires that are supossed to be with the white ones on the IM above the starter... they were bolted to the block. :nono:
