'86 MJ 2.5L ECM....good?

I also just picked up a noid light set to verify pulse on the injector harness, and it does light up when i switch key to ON, as well as crank.

Shouldn't noid light flicker during CRANK?

Where do I ground?

Any good ground point will do.

T3 = 12V.

Good reading.

Noid light is bright when key ON; noid light dims when cranking.

Dimming makes you think INJ should be firing.

Try anywhere inside the cab that touches the sheet metal. Also doing the resistance test on the injector should say something. Since you had the injector unplugged for the light test, take one lead and put one on one injector post and the other on the other post and see if it has more or less than 10 ohms resistance. 

 

 

 

Ok I missed this new page, disregard what I said.

Well, trying to help prevent ya from buying a new ECU. Not sure what the return policy is at parts stores on if the ECU fixes your problem or not.

 

 

Buuuuuttt if we go the ECU route send @70barracuda a PM about a 2.5L ECU. I am buying his old one off of him and he could probably send the ECU to you for testing purposes.

Well don't worry about it, because I didn't know you could test the injector that way. It maintains a 1.4 ohms or so.

Well theres a $100 you don't have to spend. I don't think those injectors ever go bad but they are just GM injectors.

Wow, I would appreciate that immensely. When is he supposed to send it out?

No idea. Just sent him a PM talking about it, he's pretty good about getting back to me. At the moment he isn't sending the parts out yet but I can't make a promise on how quickly he can get the ECU out

We have a Jeep-focused JY out here called Hardrock 4x4, and I'll call in the morning to see what they are charging for ECUs. 

 

Would there be anything we may have skimmed over before taking the plunge in this direction?

Not that I can think of.

Starter relay/solenoid is good as the engine cranks, ECU pulses the injector, injector is good on the resistance, spark comes from the coil, CPS tests alright, FP runs with good pressure, good bat voltage, fusible link to pin 30 for FP relay is good, ignition switch is good, engine fires with fuel down the TB. The only thing we absolutely don't know about is the MAP and the TPS.

We tried the tests for them and came up with bizarre results. We never got the 5V to the sensors from the ECU so theres something wrong somewhere and it all just might boil down to the 5V circuit.

I just came across the TPS adjustment test randomly on a different forum.

 

With key ON, the resistance seems to be switching back and forth between 0 ohms and O.L. Power probe to (B), Ground probe to Neg Batt; TPS harness disconnected from TPS.

 

Is that correct?

Is it a Jeep forum? The adjustment is this:

Key on engine off

Check sensor input voltage, Connect negative lead to TB and positive to TC

Note here is to not unfasten the sensor nor unplug it from the harness but back probe the connector.

Move the throttle plate to wide open, be sure throttle linkage contacts the stop

Note the reading for the input voltage for B and C should be 5V wide open

Return throttle plate to resting.

Check sensor output voltage by taking positive lead from TC and put it in TA.

Move and hold the throttle plate wide open like testing the input voltage. Note this entire adjustment is with the throttle plate wide open so it will be a bit tough to do alone but it gets easier the more times it is done.

Voltmeter reading should be 4.6-4.7VDC, adjust the output as necessary.

 

Loosen the bottom retaining screw for coarse adjustment and loosen the top screw for fine adjustment until the output has hit between 4.6-4.7VDC and then tighten the screws while holding the sensor still during tightening.

Alright man, something is wonky here.

 

Opening throttle, regardless of how much, does not affect the voltage readout. With that said:

 

- TB & TC = 3.4V. Again, wide open throttle retained 3.4V. 

- TA & TB = -50mV the first time, and then ~100mV the second time. Throttle position did not matter. 

 

All of this is plugged in, key ON. I also shook the engine harness to check wire integrity while plugged into TB & TC, and no fluctuation occurred. Retained 3.4V.

That’s why we never did the adjustment because of the MAP sensor 5V. Something is bizarre so I am not certain if a new ECU will rectify the 5V problem. 

Damn, well you guys already know that if you're out of ideas, that leaves me to be way lost, ha.
