Awww; crap.
Went out this morning to start her up. Turned the key, and blipped the throttle so the injectors would jump in; and she died. CEL 15, again. Both of my tachs are going wacky again, and I can't figure it out. I can keep it going by feathering the throttle, but after about 10 sec it dies whether I want it to or not.

What would cause code 15 (Ignition Output Signal)? Is it the blue tach wire coming out of the dizzy? That's where I have my tach coming off of, and I think that's the source of my problems. Either that, or I ripped a wire loose on my ECU when I was down there. On top of that, my leaky #3 injector is back again (Didn't leak at all last night, and after I got the car warm yesterday CEL 15 never came back).

Any help?

Anyone? I'm supposed to be a work right now (Not like it matters, I am getting paid to sit on my *** surfing HT, but it's the point...)

you never had the code 15 before the SMC install?
are all your wires still secure? Try re programing the SMC maybe it dumped your settings for some reason.

No, no code 15 before the SMC.
I checked my wires, and everything seems okay. I just don't know which wire exactly controls the output signal. My F*ing child dad got pissed off and heaved my keys on in the back yard, so looks like I'm going to look for those before I can do anything.

Wish I could... Parents are paying for college though, and I only have a part time job (going to school full time), so I wouldn't make it for a friggin week.

It's a combination of work (I didn't have to go to work today. I'm actually getting paid whether I'm there or not cuz a coworker owes me a favor. But he got pissed off when I told him to f himself and mind his own f*ing business (After him yelling at me for about 30 mins prior to these words)). He told me to get the f out, grabbed my keys of the comp desk, and heaved them in the yard. I'm like..well, how am I supposed to go anywhere now genius? He didn't like that AT ALL. He stormed out. I think he might have found my keys and took them with him, I don't know. And now my spare is missing off my counter, so I can't do crap...

Whelp, found my spare. Went out and reprogrammed the SMC. Started her up, and still doing it. Reset the ECU, and tried again. TONS of white smoke out the back, fuel. I leaned the SMC out a little bit and tried again; same thing. I'm at like -40% right now, and it's still too much. I am throwing the CEL again. WTF wire controls this gdamn code?

[EDIT]

Whelp, I found it (Thank god). The blue wire was hanging on by like 1 thread after the plug on the backside of the dizzy. Some f*tard before me ghetto rigged it, and had like 1/2 the wire exposed where he had put an aftermarket tach or something on; and just ripped the wire off leaving the blue wire to die die die. That might be the cause of my idle/hesitation problems too. I fixed it tho, so off to work I go.

l8r all

jB out

Since when has tons of white smoke out of the exhaust been fuel?

pelotudo

Since I stood behind it and passed out cuz of the fuel smell; and gas came out my muffler...

It was more of a darker grey, but nonetheless; it was fuel. The DSM's were dumping WAY too much in.
