B230FT wont start- part 2 900

Hi Dave,

> My vote is a flaky AMM either internal or an intermittent connection.

Have you taken the cover off the AMM to see the guts? Is there a circuit
board and possible cold solder joints inside?

> AMM...Peel back the boot and push in all pins.

Is there an issue with AMM connectors? They are not Bullet connectors.


I dunno if resetting OBD codes will do the same as resetting all ECU memory

You can't selectively reset fuel and ignition ECU's with fuses since they
are both on Fuse 1, a very busy fuse for engine management.
But pulling Fuse 1 might be easier than disconnecting the battery,
Pulling Fuse 1 is a good idea for the next unscheduled no start event, but not until I check for OBD codes first. I can test your theory that resetting the
OBD code or codes will reset the no start condition.
The more info we get the better.
I wonder if the code was there before the no start?
I got no check engine idiot light on any of these events.

>Next time you get a no-start, simply disconnect the AMM and if it now restarts (in limp home mode) then that's almost certain confirmation.

Far out! I can try that, but don't expect it will reboot the ECUs.

Or, if there's something serviceable inside the AMM, I can look for a crappy
solder joint maybe? What's under the cover with the 4 flathead phillips screws?

Cheers, Bill
