Dead in the driveway
Background; Rough running then recovered. Check engine light came on then off. No codes. Ran fine. Next day dead in the driveway. Turned over fine with NO TACH MOVEMENT.
Changed fuel filter. NOTHING.
Everything pointed to CPS.
Just came inside from doing that and it is still dead. Brand new black CPS.
Followed the directions on here to a T including the fuse #9 removal prior to removing the old one.
When I turned to key on with the new one installed i get a C Err on the APCM. No start no wait to start light, no vacuum pump or anything. TUrns over but not starting.
What is a C Err and what woudld else be wrong.
PS Had the APCM for a while and it works 100%.
THanks,
RC

Negative on the fuel pump.
I did check #9 fuse to make sure it was not blown and it was not and that is was inserted properly.

Hey Med, man I feel dumb giving you advice. Ok, here it goes. On the no fuel pump thing, cause I know you been turning the key looking at the dash stuff. Drain the fuel bowl, then turn the key to see if it runs to prime the system.
Stand by man, we're calling out the big dogs.....

Double check all of the PCM related fuses and diodes under the dash and under the hood as well as the relays. The #30 Joe mentioned is a common culprit if it reblows unplug the Fure Bowl Heater/WIF indicator on the rear of the fuel bowl.

However, I am still in doubt as to why the C Err is showing on the APCM and I have no tach when I try and turn it over.

I know the year is right because it worked perfectly prior.

Just a shot here but, Unhook both batts for 30 min and reset the system, and then see what you've got ( I know its not Windows, or XP, but most computers need resetting every now and then) Mac guys, don't even touch that one.
