Ok....

My engine check light comes on and my car boggs *like HELL* At 10 mph gear 1 boggs like no tomorrow and i would have to shift...(i usually shift at 15-20mph)

Some times when i start the car it feels like its miss firing... it would die on me....so i would have to rev the engine a little to get it up and running.

I replaced the dizzy, new spark plugs, and spark plug wires.....
Even replaced the head gaskets just in case it would flood into my spark plugs...
I replaced my O2 sensor because i thought it was no good anymore.....

I am really bum'd out... car still runs..... and act;s up like hell... it gets very scary on the highway...

My ECU blinks like hell, but I don't know what code it is so please help me out guys.

Blinks 1 2 stop 1 2 3 4 stop and 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 .... and starts over again...
No clue plz help...

 

Hey,

I took about 25 seconds of digging around to find out what your error codes meant and here's what i came up with.

The first set (2 flashes) is:
2
Oxygen Sensor "B"
defective circuit or unplugged / defective sensor

The second set (4 flashes) is:
4
CKP Sensor (Crankshaft Position Sensor)
defective circuit or unplugged / defective sensor

The third set (8 flashes) is:
8
TDC Sensor (Top Dead Center)
defective circuit or unplugged / defective sensor

These three things do explain the problems you are getting. I have a buddy that was having very similar problems and he replaced all his supposed defective sensors only to still have it. i finally traced it back along the wire harness where all the wires were on a severe angle and had just broken apart inside of the plastic coatings. Replaced that section of the wire harness and everything was fine after.

Best way to check to see if it is the wire harness is to have the vehicle running and start wiggling the wire harness (at a point where most of these wires are all in the same group; harness to ecu for example) and if it starts doing what it was doing then there you go. Just remember that your TDC sensor and CKP sensor will be most sensitive when your vehicle warms up.

not saying this will work for you but hopefully its some insight to what you need to know. And at least now you know you know what your error codes mean.

These sensors are in the distributor you changed.

again, a part you said you changed.

I'd reset the computer (unplug the battery) and see if the codes come back. Also check over your connectors and wiring like davey421 said.
