96 Tracker hot idle issue (MAF reverse engineered!) look!
#34
mr. Gorky:
but the clutch only stops cranking, and never kills the CEL. (the cel glows keyon, clutch up or down, always)
CEL dead, means (intermittent in this case , suggesting lamp is good) means the main power to the ECU Died.
C35 pin 12/13 pair were dead. , key on.
seen here (left page)

on a work bench, you can connect up 3 wires to the ecu and the ECU will glow the CEL
pin 12 on left page. above.
CEL lamp ( spare #18 lamp) at pin 14, (other lead to 12) and then ground the ecu at (right page) pin 1 or 14 right page.
the ecu boots up and glows the CEL.
(right page)

you have 1 more bug. (sorry!) blue-black I think is going dead.
we can set traps to find them if you want. there are ways...
G117 ground bad , kills ECU too....seen on page right.
the traps id set are C34-p12 (find a way to add a wire here to the vast connections, on that blue-black
if you find it dead, then check main relay. (on heater box)
that relay has 4 pins, if any of the other 3 die, the relay drops out.
FI fuse is on such input. if the FI fuse drops out (as they love to do, on salt belt cars) then the relay goes DEAD.
also the Fuel pump relay and Main are same P/N so you can swap it, if the CEL stays on now, and pump dies, bingo bad relay.

one trick i do is take some 22 gage wire, (test wire) and strip both ends. then slide 1 bare end in to the pin under test and push on the connector.
i try to get the wire in the socket and then run to a volt meter, to catch the drop out.
extreme intermittent. if the car dies regular , then just back probe main, id leave the glove box off until the car is back running perfect.

ID be all over BLUE-BLACK ! and MAIN.

question, someone didnt put in HUGE AMP fuses in the FI or IGcoil locations? right? illegal fuses?
