code 42
I thought my 91 Z28 tpi 5.0L was ready to go, all of a sudden, it comes to a complete stop... i did pretty much as getting new ecm, distributor, spark plugs and wires, prom chip, ignition module, and a few sensors... how can i tell if im having a short, when all the wiring was redone on my z28? any few suggestions, charts or links?

Re: code 42
nope you need one, there about 20 bucks at most places
and the reason im asking is code 42 is the code u get when u disconnect the est computer advance ( tan wire with black tracer) to set base timing
