Today one of the goodwrenches let me borrow a donor Ign Module to try. The car hesitated for a few minutes after I installed it but then it settled down. Went for a 20 mile ride, including some highway. Took the car up to 85-90, it seemed to take it alright. The car seems to run better with the donor Ign module.
Went back to Chevy at 11am, told the goodwrench my tale. He said to keep the Ign Module for the weekend. Next he hooked up his Snap On scanner but could not clear the code 41. Disconnected the battery but 5 seconds after the car was started the SES light came back on. His scanner said something about no reference signal from the cam shaft sensor.
I have an Ign Module ( $177 ) & gasket on order, but before I buy it a suggestion was made to swap out the ECM first. I got a new ECM back in March & its got a 1 year warranty.
That Ign Module hold down nut backed up agains't the negative lead cable was a pain to unscrew.
More next week.
