I just replaced my stock exhaust manifolds with headers and now I am getting "ERROR 34." I remember taking what looked like a ground wire off the rear manifold bolt on the passenger side of the 305 TPI motor. Could that be? The MAF is a very expensive item, could there be any other reason for the error?
Thanks,

you need to ratach that ground. that is the engine to body ground wire that compleats the ground circut.

good luck

thanks

thanks,
I will do that right away. It is a pure braided wire, I should have figured. It was on the charger when I tried to start it.....damn.....
Alright, now all the error codes are gone before startup but once I start the motor, the codes go crazy, is that also a product of a bad ground?
PS> who-ever said that for the computer to be reset, disconnect from battery AT LEAST 30 seconds, THANKS! I only did it for 5 and it never cleared the codes.
Thanks, Ben

 

the books said to wait 15 min to 30 min "depending on the model", but i always just turned on the head lights after the battery is disconnected to drain the remaning current stored in the capacitors, then after waiting a min or 2 reatched and the codes are gone, but now i have a scan tool so i just clear them.

yes a bad ground can cause false codes, spirattic running and glitches.

thanks
