Re: Power Windows Acting Crazy!

Im looking for this in my 91 Bonneville and i dont see it. All i see is a nicely tapped up set of wires, but not that ground bus anywhere.

Im having an issue where my power window wants to work but only goes up in small increments. Have to let it sit for a bit before i can get it up another few mm ...

Re: 91 bonneville 3800 vin c not starting

Im begining to think it my not be the ...

Re: 91 bonneville 3800 vin c not starting

Its kinda odd you say that because for the past 2 years its been showing around 80 amd above 80 as my oil pressure and if im not mistaken it should be round 40. Ill try disconnecting it and see if it stops blowing the fuse, but i just dont see how the oil pressure sensor will blow the ingnition fuse ...

Re: 91 bonneville 3800 vin c not starting

Icm is under the coil pack right?

Also, i can start the car multiple times and i actualy drove it around for about 20 or so miles (had extra fuses) and it didnt blow a fuse. Went to drive away again 1 hour or so later it blew as i was backing out my driveway. Replaced it and drove to dinner and ...

Re: 91 bonneville 3800 vin c not starting

i tested the wires and here are the ohms on all of them.

Harnesses by cylinder -

1 - 11.8
2 - 11.8
3 - 11.91
4 - 11.78 (bounced to 11.8 but stayed more on 11.78)
5 - 11.8
6 - 11.8

Injectors were all at 0 ohms.


As u can see cylinder 3 is higher then the rest. Is that an indicator of the problem ...

Re: 91 bonneville 3800 vin c not starting

in looking at my user manual i see where the injection fuse should be... however i am unable to locate that fuse. I see my 25 fuse panel but not the other one. The ones under my hood are all good as well.

Re: 91 bonneville 3800 vin c not starting

It was a brand new ECM. Weird thing is i tried starting it without the ecm and everything acted the same as if the ecm was installed.

Isnt the bulb test only good if you think only 1 of your injectors arent getting power? Like i said its not starting at all. Engine turns over fine. My battery ...

I then changed the ecm and still ...
