well one day i was driving and my distributor took a **** on me so i had to push it home, it was only few blocks away. so i got a hold of a d15 distributor, i have a z6 so it wouldn't fit. i took out the ignitor and coil and put it in my distributor. before it put it in, i had a solid CEL. after i put it in it went away but.... right when i tried to fire her up, i heard a loud back fire and the solid CEL came back on again? any ideas? im pretty sure either ignitor or coil is fried? i have a new distributor coming in the mail soon but i don't want that dizzy to fry to?

 

i know this doesnt help you much but a a friend of mines dist. went out on his z6 and we used a d15 dist and it worked fine

 

what code?

 

there is no code, its just a solid CEL.

 

should have a code ... hmm... i would check all the wires and grounds and fuses.... ?

 

solid cel usually means shot ECU or a bad program burnt on a chip. is your ecu chipped?

 

yes its chipped w/ uberdata.. but... while i was driving my car just stumbled and died on me and the CEL came on. the thing is that when i put a new ignitor and coil in, it went away. any ideas? i have a solid CEL and NO there is not a code.

 

its definatly your chip if you have uberdata, what burner are you useing and what version of uberdata...

 

using willem burner and uberdata 1.7, but how could it be the chip? i tune my car alot and haven't came across this type of problem

 

if you get a bad burn, it happens sometimes, or sometimes the chip just looses the program for one reason or another, burn yourself your latest tune, and go from there.
