3 minute bump followed by 4 minute bump at near 2 AM, cool!
Cleaned idle air control valve, checked for gasket leaks? Code 40 is weird.

yea really. starting a thread isn't like carrying on an aim conversation.

ok first off there is no code 40... there is a code 4 however. and a crankshaft position sensor being muffed up (which is inside your dizzy btw) could certainly cause something like what you're describing.

i put my dizzy on a different car

but my cluster is telling me it does

Whoever is "reading" the codes may not be reading it correctly. If the CEL light flashes four times in a quick manner, it's CODE 4....not CODE 40.

what is the car doing first off? It might be easier to diagnose by actual problems than a mystery code that could be a ecu problem or something

he already said he swapped dizzys on another car and didn't pop up code 4 so his dizzy is good. and code 4 would be for the sensor in the dizzy.

its called a ghost code it when the a resistor on the ecu board is burnt or if the ecu is chipped and the tune is not sync it will through a ghost code try changing your ecu and see what that does
