ok.  so this T. were messing with has the tr6 an well.  we were having issues so. decided to pull it off.  an  go back to the stock ignition
so installed stock ign an. now it fires an dies just as. fast manually opening the throttle doesn't help  any ideas why it would start great with the. tr6 an not at all.  with the stock coil an module,
We. tried 3 different modules an coil packs annn with the same result?
all fuses test ok   injectors are. pulsing   fuel pressure isn't a problem    this is a fast ecm car   if that helps
any ideas.
thanks

General Buick Tech / rapid flashing ses

« on: August 06 2020, 04:25:00 PM »

so my sis light rapidly flashes with key on,   so I unplugged the ecm power wire   then reinstalled it an it went away.
my question is. this happens randomly   the ecm is a modded one. an the chip is a tt 5.7    I looked at the socket it appears ok. an I didn't see any bent prongs on the chip,


on a side note the car also randomly. dies like the ign is turned off while cruising or coming to a stop


ya think this is related an. what do you recommend I do to fix this?   
thanks

ok   so I tried both ways with the compressor plug no go either way...

the light green wire has power with engne running an with just key in on postion

I disconnected the relay (the one closest to the front of the car)   I have power   in 2 spots   with key on  an also when running.   when I jump the switch no other spots become energized.
