Re: CEL Codes P1131, P1233 & B1342

I got that B1342 off the print out from the shop, but maybe he meant P instead of B. Found this thru Google: P1342 Ignition Coil Power Output Stage 1 Short to B+. That doesn't sound right because if it was shorted the engine would be misfiring and I haven't felt anything like that. I paid them $75. to diagnose the problem so tomorrow I'm going back to the shop and ask them to clarify their error.

Later this afternoon I'll get it out in the sunlight and give the air intake and vacuum lines a good going over and see if I can find a leak. I'm going to give it a decent try and if the CEL light stays on I'll take it to the Ford dealer and let them diagnose it. Thank you very much Rod and I'll let ya'll know how goes it.

Edit 9:PM. I looked it over and pulled and tugged on every line and gave the MAF & hose and lines a good look-see and only found one line behind the intake manifold pulled off about a quarter inch so pushed it back on where it should be. Don't think it was enough to leak, but we'll see. Also checked the PVC elbows and any and everything that I could find that was a vacuum line. I cleaned the PCV valve and cleared the computer and will drive it and see what gives.
