code 43 problem
well I used to get a code 43.
well after i hooked up my computer to it. i see that my car gets knocks, but that my computer doesn't pull the timing when it registers the knocks.
well today i changed my ESC module together with my rotor.
looks like i just spilled some good greenies on stuff that didn't work.
still get code 43 and still runs like ****.
I can still place another knock sensor ( altough I'm 90% positive it aint gonna change **** )
does anybody else here has any good idea what can cuse the code 43 how to stop it.
I'm trough with driving with car that drives like **** when it gets hot.
if I can't get it fixed soon I'm parting the car out and bring pieces i can't sell to the crusher.
i'm even thinking about buying a honda civic or so.

Re: code 43 problem
I think your down to the ECM?..its also possible that the Mem-Cal is faulty have you tried a ECM yet?.Your voltage should be between 4-6 volts from the harness (wire from ECM to Knock sensor) and ground.if its over 6 volts its shorted to voltage and under 4 its shorted to ground..both conditions could also be a faulty ECM ,so I would try that first?.Also when checking the voltage make sure the coolant is above 67 C..if you have to check voltage.

Re: code 43 problem
well, we found the problem, havent fixed it yet.
it looks like my knock sensor isn't connected.
there isn't even a wire running to the neighberhood of the knocksensor.
so tomorrow we are gonna tke of the starter ( creating a bit more searchroom ) and start looking for a blue wire. if we can't find it i will put a new wire in place. ( knocksensor itself will also be replaced )
