1993 Regal 3800 Runs Like Crappimfram 07-07-2007, 11:51 PM 1993 regal 3800 with 113xxx. problems started about 5 days ago, rough idle, runs very poorly about 5 minutes after driving, car wont downshift, speedo goes crazy, from a dead stop takes 10-15 seconds to clear an intersection. Im pretty sure its the ecm since i just replaced the plugs and wires. Anyone else care to throw an opinion my way? Thanks. Mickey#1 07-08-2007, 09:18 AM I'm afraid it could be a lot of things. Fuel pump ICM ECM Poor battery connections Poor grounds & others Have you checked for codes? pimfram 07-08-2007, 11:10 AM There have been no codes pulled and no check engine light. I am going to check the battery terminals and ground and if that doesnt do anything ill probably end up getting a new ecm. Mickey#1 07-08-2007, 11:42 AM Cables & grounds should be the 1st thing checked - it doesn't cost anything. If your Regal has 2 battery cables that come together under a single rubber boot then you have to get the boot off to clean the cable ends. I'd also remove the coils & ICM & check for corrosion between the mounting plate & ICM. Another freebie. While the coils are off you can check the resistance of the primary & secondary windings. A weak coil won't throw a code. When was the last time the plugs & wires were changed? I'd check them before getting an ECM. pimfram 07-12-2007, 08:45 PM i got the car back from a good diagnostics shop here and it was the ecm. thanks for the help. vBulletin®, Copyright ©2009, Jelsoft Enterprises Ltd.
