Once again code 42 help.
Okay guys I have been battling this issues for quite some time and it is getting very annoying. I have replaced everything to do with this code. It still refuses to go away. I have checked the wiring and the grounds and found nothing wrong. The car runs fine but feels sluggish (probably due to a bad injector). I have reseated the prom on the ecm I have tracked the white wire from D8 on the ecm and found nothing wrong.
99 times out of 100 the ses light is on, but every once in a blue moon, it goes away for like 10 minutes. (also note that my tachometer pegs at start up but will work every once in a while as well.)
Any advice guys, my next step is to replace the ecm or get a whole new harness. I really dont want to spend that kind of money for no real reason.
(ON another side note, i am dumping fuel, which i believe is my bad injector, but the car runs on all 8. Someone told me this is another sign of a bad ecm, but i just dont know.)
