The problem I am having is in Mode 8 an= d as I was diagnosing it was also discovered in mode 1. Also, I know that the dreaded NOP is telling me "no operation". I have had= this occur before and it meant a bad serial line from the EM2 and the EC2.= I have also had to send the units back to Tracy for this issue. However,= this time I am seeing the NOP ONLY in Mode 8 and Mode 1 and ONLY when I pr= ess the program button. Also, when the program button is pressed in these = modes, the reading for the timing displays 17. Both modes clear and no lon= ger display NOP or 17 when I change to any other mode. Needless to say, wh= ile in Mode 8 and it going to NOP, no timing adjustment is happening. I di= d verify there IS spark at the plugs. ?????? I discovered the problem when I was wishing to retard my timing after my ap= parent electrical spike from a couple of weeks ago adversely affected the e= ngines running. It had been running great...now, not so much. I moved som= e wire runs to reduce more possible spikes, reset the A to factory presets = and it was running ok, but hard to start, thus the timing adjustment. FINALLY, I have a second EC2. What say y'all about installing it? If I pu= t it in am I risking the problem being duplicated in the second EC2? I hav= e spent the better part of the last two nights rechecking all my wire runs = for continuity. Tonight I focused on the wires to the CAS. I hope to try = to start it tomorrow but I do not think I will have much success until I fi= nd this latest gremlin. I am having a few other issues that need addressing, however this is the mo= st pressing and the one I am at the greatest loss.
