Hello everyone.
Well title doesn't say much. To make a long story short, took the car out last week for a short ride and noticed that I was getting a check engine light at approx. 2800 rpm or 55 mph. Car would hesitate briefly and I would get a flick at the alternator.
Didn't think too much of it at the time but it would constantly do it everytime I would try to go over 55 mph. Torque converter trying to kick-in I thought. So once back home, I decided I would pull the trouble codes, if any. To my surprise, the minute I turned the ignition switch (no start) on, the check engine light would flick constantly and not give me the usual 1 - 2 starting codes.
Now, here is my question.
1. is my ECM gone south?
2. Could that be a faulty ground?
3. Loose connector somewhere? Or all 3 ?
I did do some work under the dash this past spring. Maybe I pulled on something without noticing it. Just wondering if someone had experienced something like this before.
Thanks for your help.
