In the middle of buying a 93 typhoon from a friend.the truck is very clean with low milage but has it own issues that well get into some other time. So im going over the truck to see the shape and see what i have to buy for it when i pull a 42 code out of the ecm which is the sensor for adjusting the timing. The engine light was on cause it was disconnected. He told me it wont run with it connected. So i pull the battery terminal off to clear the codes plug the blk and tan wire to see whats going on and it runs but as soon as i put it in gear done deal shuts right down. Before i start chasing my tail i figured i ask you guys(girls) what could it be. Im thinking the timing is out but not sure any ideas.
Thanks Donny

I have to put a light on it just dont no why it runs with the harness for the timing unhooked and as soon as you put it in gear it stalls out, the only thing i can think it once its hooked up the computer sets the timing to far out to stay running? I dont no just yet.

Re: New guy needing help

If any of those senors were the problem(not saying they arent) wouldnt it do it with that brown and blk harness disconected under the heater box? And i agree the timing might not be the problem cause if it was out it would not want to run as good as it does. But i can clearly here a miss in it when shes running out the back end. Also no other codes poped up.
