213 resolved
Finally after awhile I got the 213 code to go away. For now anyway. I bought a new distributor, and a new pcm, ANT1. POP2 was what was in it. I first replaced the distributor, which I had the 213 code still. So I replaced the pcm and I couldn't do the self test for some reason. I didn't have good connections on the test plug. I cleaned some grounds and tried again. Tested KOER and 311 is the only code present. Thank God! I dont care about the 311 code, I don't even know what a thermactor is lol. I'm not 100% but I think it was a bad PCM. Figured I'd end this thread with a solution to help anyone else in my situation.
I took it on a test drive and can tell that it runs smoother, feels like a little more torque, and revs smoother and faster. It was running lean before. What's odd is that the timing would change with the spout plugged in even with open SPOUT code. Unplug it and it was steady. This was definitely weird because I replaced everything 2 or 3 times before finding out the pcm was the issue. Maybe it was the ground? Lol Idk. I did pop open my old PCM and found new caps in it. I believe that pcm is only a year old. Weird
