ASD automatic shutdown relay

[gbvoris]

I need some quick help. I have a 1989 Dodge Caravan 2.5, it has been sitting for a few fears. When we parked it, it was running, just a bad starter ( I was told it was a bad fly wheel ). When I decided to try to start it or junk it, I found several wires bad, I think they are all fixed.
Now I get a code 11, 22 and 22. (12 and 22 I think I can ignore for the moment. 11 should set the asr according to the Haynes manual. They just don't say what to do about it. I'm thinking another bad wire; but which one? The diagram doesn't help much, the copy I have just gives "Typical" diagrams, better than nothing; but just enough to get you iratated!

The pick-up in the distributor has gone bad. That's where the asr gets it's signal. Also make sure chopper is not rusted or touching pick-up.

Just got back from trip. (waste of time!) I bought the hall effect pick up and I'll let you know what it does. The only ? I have is: Why is it bad... It was changed about two months before we shut the van down, and the engine was running fine when we quit using it. The only problem was the starter not engageing.
