Funky Turbolnk Data

[OldGrayII]

OK, Almost there......Whats happening is that all my data is good, until AFTER a decent warm-up, about 8-10 minutes drive time, then I'll start getting bad data about every 3rd to 4th frame consistently, at the time of the bad frames it will also flash the "Malfunction Code Detected" then return to normal, now before I cut the Ground wire and run a Direct Ground to the back of he ALDL ** if it WAS a ground why ONLY after a warm up does it DO this?????**

Go down about ten threads and read the one titled "Getting wacky data from t-link"

I DID read that, apparently they were Atributed to Bad Grounds or a Defective fan delay/relay (I put a new one on there)! I was going to run a DEDICATED ground to the ALDL ground, but if it WAS my grounds, how come the data is PERFECT until the car warms up - if this was a ground problem, wouln't it be like that always????

***I've had Turbolink since Feb. of '96 on 2 of my other cars and NEVER had a problem!!! Now I'm having NOTHING BUT, on a lower mileage mint car!!! Its getting EXTEMELY frustrating!!!****

Try swapping ECMS with someone. Maybe there is a crack in the board and when it warms up it separates?

As Ken has suggested to me, I'm going to try Un-Plugging the relays, perhaps thier giving some noise through the Wiring!

If so, Whats the quick fix?? Remember, this isn't some Whooped-On car with Questionable wiring!! This is a clean low mileage car with a good harness!


And Blackbuick, if it were the ECM, wouln't I have problems with the Snap-On scanner??
