Check engine light, but no codes stored.

Coming back from a errand yesterday morning... the Ty started to stumble and acting piggish (slow, unresponsive, meh), then the check engine light came on. Pulled into a parking lot, turn off, and went in to the store for a few minutes. Came out, the Ty fired right up, but stumbled and died. Was able to get it home, but when I went to pull the codes.... nothing.... just 12, over and over....

Anything?

As stupid as this may sound I had this happen in my 92 S10, random CEL, sluggish and poor performance but it wouldn't hold a code. I just had that gut feeling it was the O2 sensor and I changed it out, problem solved.

Hope this helps

Running $59, and right now we're running in open loop.

Do you drive your Ty often? If not, check your air cleaner assembly. A rodent may have packed a nest in there and it is hindering your airflow after getting sucked against the filter. Just a thought...

Tried to start it today... just cranked. Saw the tach bouncing... looks like the Delco ICM is fried... again!

Looks like I'm getting the one with the lifetime warranty now. :D

Shouldn't the tach bounce when it's good and not when its bad?

OK... F that. I can hear it running like it's plugged up (no cat), it's no sounding like it normally does. It's taking extended periods of time to crank over.... and I just put a new module in it.

Still CEL, but no stored code. Ignition wise: TSP Distributor (JM6651R), MSD coil, and now a Airtex/Wells module. Checked the timing and it's dead on.

Anyone?

I saw one Syclone with a collapsed turbo to intercooler hose. Acted just like a plugged exhaust. Looked normal on the outside.
