code 43- ESC unit (electronic spark control)

probable cause- the ESC retard signal may have been on for too long OR the system has failed a functional check

if you have noticed poorer mileage and a minor loss of power it seems...check the spark control module beneath the distributor cap/rotor... i pulled a 43 about 5 mos ago and plugged my EGR and replaced that module and all is fine.
hope you find the problem
