How about putting up How to set idle speed?

What is the correct ignition timing?

Spark plug type and gap?

Some simple things often over looked but should be done first as base settings:thumbsup:

Under the General Info heading...

In regards to AFM plug numbers "stick the probes on wire 4 (white) and 2 (1 being the closest to the airbox)" is WRONG I think you'll find :bang:

It's 6 is the closest to the air box and 1 at the other end..:whistling

MY GOLD VL sl 6 cyl manual september 1986 built wont start..
but it cranks over ,its always started first shot (and always proud to boast that )but last week it wouldnt start

undid fuel line at rail and seems good pressure coming out
put BRAND NEW timing light on various spark plug & coil leads =no spark
swapped over coil ,REPLACED Crank Angle Sensor brand new............. still the same ,no spark,relay under the fusebox cover clicks on
looked @ computer codes results are 14,23,24,31,32,14
ran test lead from pos batt term to POWER TRANSiStOR on DISt (brown-red wire terminal)

Well the code 32 is the problem-what is causing it?
Have you taken out the ECU and cleaned all the plugs and terminals that go in the bottom of it?

CODES ARE:
11 Crank angle sensor circuit
12 Air flow meter circuit
13 coolant temperature sensor circuit
14 Vehicle speed sensor circuit
21 ignition signal circuit
23 throttle switch circuit
24 neutral switch circuit
31 satisfactory operation (non air conditioned models) air conditioner circuit (air conditioned models)
32 starter signal circuit
34 detonation sensor circuit (turbo models)
44 satisfactory operation (air conditioned models)
