Engine SwapEverything about swapping an engine into your Third Gen.....be it V6, V8, LTX/LSX, crate engine, etc. Pictures, questions, answers, and work logs.
We are currently taking the engine from an 86 transam sadly it was too rotted out to even bother with but the engine did run. It runs when starter fluid is sprayed straight into the intake and runs well. We arent getting any injector pulse at all. We have the ignition control module harness not plugged into anything and basically what we are trying to figure out and cant seem to find any information on is where this plugs into. We also arent getting any check engine lights. We arent getting any power to the pink/black wire to the ecm either.
pink/black is a6 the ignition power to the ecm. in the photo the ignition control module ends in a 12 point harness and we dont know what it plugs into because its not plugged in were not getting power to the icm.
it fires and runs on starter fluid. the module in the picture is not connected to anything and we cant find what it plugs into. also the colors dont match the schematic you sent. a is blue/white b is orange c is black d is blue/black e is green and those colors matchup to the 12 pin harness on the other side.
Wire the esc as pictured in the schematic post 2
use the letters on the terminals not the wire colors.
The lack of esc will not kill injector pulse or spark.
Miya for knock retard distributor control.
Identifix points towards the icm/esc being at fault for killing fuel pulse but I don't think we're getting power to the computer. Can't figure out where the computer gets it's ignition power from on the other end. We're not even getting the check engine light on the guage cluster.
