Ok I get this error code but not quite sure what where to go with it..

42 Automatic shutdown relay. Check relay and circuit. Needs specialist or dealer diagnostics.

Anyone have any ideas on what it could be.?

The ASD relay is outside your relay center. Should be just behind or to the side. It looks like someone forgot to add it INSIDE.

Check this relay first. Just use a working one from inside relay center. They are the same #'s


I had someone on my Yahoo group ask about this, I gave a detailed answer and links. Give me a few minutes to pull them up.

WHOA....my bad.

That was a Code 76 Fuel Pump Resistor Bypass Relay Fault.

Scratch the previous post.

Why did you find the code? Was there something wrong, that made you pull codes?
He asks trying to sound sincere enough so OKC forgets his major oopsie.

Thanks bud I found it..seems the ASD relay is in the PDC...So I took it out and put a spare in I had from replacing the old starter relay and it worked perfectly..Infact even started up faster.. Thanks for the info...

Another thing I noticed I am leaking oil out of the damn distributor..I have a sneaky fealing I forgot to put the gasket on when I put it in..uhg..That is one thing I don't want to dink with again...

Yeah the dizzy can be a real PITA to disassemble and re-assemble.

your telling me...I remember when I put in the new motor getting that sucker in there properly was more then a pita and there was suppose to be a gasket between it and the block to seal it...and guess I forgot to put it in since I looked through all my gaskets and well it's sitting in the box..lol Oh well another project to pull my hair out over but at least I know where the oil is coming from occasionally..
