96 Kick rpm's

[fixkick]

What was the outcome on the RPM dropping upon reaching 3500???    The 2 common failures, are dead spark sure, and FPR Dead (spark good).
I have the same condition, sucks 45 mph. (you do not  know that, ever) sorry+

96 sidekick, G16B, AUTO, W/16 pin auto trans, w/4 plug cpu IE 12/16/22/26 pin connectors
runs to 3500 and dies,12 volt power to pins 2 and 7 constant never wavers, tach feed #6 dies when condition accrues, both grounds on pin 1 and 4 are solid. Grounds on D 26 pin 14 and 15 are solid, 14volt running on D 3 and ..   no service code registered, SES bulb works key on engine not running, any help would be appreciated,   Sorry I don't remember ECU #

tried old man.



is this a hyjack post?

yes, then where are your scan tool DTC errors,    any OBD2 scanner made in USA to read codes from the DLC jack at right knee edge. 16pin jack OBD2 DLC.



1996 up have no blink codes in USA< none ever it must be scanned.

Tach feed brown wire dead, means lost spark , or CMP dead ,inside the distributor but a real scan tool tells you what end is bad,  CMP send or ignitor end.  P03xx codes all tell what is up.

for sure even using the scan tools pending codes, mode and stored code modes, and DOME fuse  must not be blown out.

THE SPARK ON THIS ENGINE WORK LIKE THIS.

Engine spins

CMP makes perfect square wave at pin3 below

this hall sensor sends this signal to the ECU, if dead fuel is cut to zero in seconds or less.

the ecu creates all spark timing, all.


The Ecu then drives the igniter active for dwell time on COIL, and release s (induction ) it to make spark at HV terminal.

it is true if spark dies, the distributor is prime suspect as are bad wiring it it.
below purple words are links to pages. fixkick. on topic


make sure all  ground wires are got to engine  right rear side, fire wall front and to distrub.


P03xx codes SET are prime evidence, to know what is wrong , 1996 is  very good year, to know what is happing, OBD2. USA.



if the suppressor fall off or is loose in the socket the tach line goes dead too, brown wire and ECU cuts fuel fast. instantly. (fire prevention that)



no fuses blown , none cracked or loose below. (all 3 schematics are on my page same name)



a scan too  can be used, on  a dead engine, idling or failing at any time or even driving with a helper, using it. (or any tool that logs data)  this is how to diagnose any 96 plus car USA.
trick #1 is on dead engines, crank for 10 seconds release the key do  not turn off key and let the scan tool tell you omg P03xx errors NOW.

all crib notes below are mine, data from 1996/7 (2 cars mine)
