Re: Code 43,instant limp,sometimes

What exactly do you mean by hardwiring plugs at RF shock tower?
Did you hard wire two connections from computer?
The majority of posts concerning a dodge 3.3 engine and wiring are basically the same thing. Auto Shutdown relay shuts off fuel and spark. Everyone blames crank or cam sensor but the codes generated just indicate cam and crank not sending signals.
Or tranny in limp mode, which occurs for most faults. Isn't the transmission.
I'm coming up with fact there is a common ground blue black wire for all of these sensors.
Can't find the open or short in actual wire.
I haven't touched ignition yet but can see how it could affect wiring to sensors if ignition not sending hot power to computer or sensors.
I'm tempted to hard wire black blue wire past all sensors to give computer impression all sensors properly grounded. Just not sure if blue black wire sends fluctuating signal?
Don't think it does because it's wire in series to sensors and each sensor would add fluctuating voltage which would garble the signal. Must give a common voltage that computer must recognize and give the OK to energize Auto Shutdown relay.
Therefore hardwiring common wire giving that voltage would give computer big thumbs up.
Whoever thought up wiring by ganging devices and sensors on same circuits must be a dope smoker.
Probably kind of guy who can't find butt with both hands.
The power door locks are keeping time with the flashing dome light while the radio works intermittently and the tach surges up and down like it's possessed. Then horns decide to stay on in rush hour at stop light. Or at 3 am on Sunday night. The Dodge design team must have had a giggle with this brain child.
My mechanic's advice?
