Ok 1989 244 auto tranny. Getting a 144 code from the EZ side (hole #6) of the computer check LED. I know what the code means but need to know if anyone can tell me what would cause a loss of load and send this code?

The 1989 244 auto stopped running for no reason. Driving down the road and it quit. Pulled over after coasting 1/2 mile and restated the engine and drove home. This is my daughter's car and was taking it home to diagnois the exact problem that happened to me. After restarting there was a check engine code. It would not give any flashes on trying to read a code from the #2 slot so I tried the #6 slot and got the EZ ignition code of 144. I can still not get any flashes from slot #2 as you should normally. Nothing, not even a red flash of any kind.. Is the ECU gone? If so then how is it running after quiting?

A 144 in diagnostic port 6 indicates trouble with the igintion system. Check for a bad ground between #25 on the control module and #8 at the DI EZ 116 K. I think the DI EZ 116 K is located in the engine compartment.

Hope this if of some help.

What was you symptom? Why did you check for a trouble code? Did you get a check engine light with no symptoms?
