wtf!? battery light?

[hatukazi]

ok, I realize this sounds dumb as hell, but after I r&r'd my engine to replace a busted tranny, the car started once.

now the battery light is on and the starter clicks, car wont start.
13.7 V @ the battery and at the starter +

it push started but hiccuped at low rpm, I drove for a while the battery light went off until I shut it off, then same problem.

I dont have my manual down here at my moms, so any ideas what to check tomorrow will be greatly appreciated.

on a plus note the new tranny I got for my cruise control box and $50 works perfectly.

double check your grounds(ive done it several times). are you throwing any codes? only the battery lights on?

 

[INJEN78]

yea double check grounds..if thats not it check if the cables are nice and tight

 

[hatukazi]

ground wasn't tight enough.
what I get for working in the dark I guess.
and apparently those extra 4 guage grounds I have dont really help.


codes 41 (again) primary O2 heater, there must be something wrong with my ECU I've changed sensors 3 times now.
9 CYP sensor, is this in the distributor?, I have a spare.

def. try a new ecu first..if you can find one,,and yes swap the dizzy out see if it goes away

now #14 IACV unplugged or defective circuit, I changed it to a newer one and no difference.

I really want to test the circuit but I dont want to let the smoke out of my ecu.

#41, isn't there a chip in my ecu if I pull the sticker off it in the light it should reset my ecu to new again instead of replacing it.

the sucky part is I have a helms manual downloaded at home, 180 miles away from, garage, tools, etc.

pull the hazard fuse..or pull the hegative battery cable for like 5 minutes to reset the ecu,ive never heard of the sticker thing

I had to run a new wire for the IACV, I had a open.

in class there's some sort of chips you can reset with light, its the chip in the corner, I didn't do it because it runs now and until I have a spare, I dont want to fuck it up.
