Hi you can run extra earth i have had a few vs commys throw up code 76 but could not stop the issue by cleaning earthpoint relug the harness etc.
So what i do is splice the black wires at the pcm join them into one eyelet and screw it to the body near the pcm(make sure you clean any paint away to give better contact).
But anyway if you want to do this the terminals are as follows,A1,A2,B1,B2,D14,D16.
In the last log it looked alot better! Did it run smoother?
Also it is probably a good idea to remove the pcm and check that none of the pins have been bent over when the plugs have been pushed in.

yeah it ran heaps better, held idel alot better and didnt stink as much.

just to get it clear b4 i chop into anything , cut the black wires at pcm A1, A2, B1,B2,D14,D16 join together and earth on body of car?


pins in pcm all good when i was looking there are 3 other clips running out of the loom were the fuel pump wires run , there is no plugs to join them to the engine loom, im assuming these are just spare plugs yeah?

On those wires just splice some of the insullation of and put the new wires on but dont cut the pcm wire completely.
The fuel pump harness goes down the drivers side and the only three pin plug under the dash near the pcm is the mobile phone power plug from factory.

yeah near the pcm theres one 8 pin plug that runs into engine loom just above pcm( i forgot to hook this up to start with and had no fuel pump), then there is 3 more plugs a 3 pin, 2pin and a 6 pin.
(im assuming there spare plugs for cruise or somthing) .


im about to slice the wires off pcm the middle (pink) clip has A on one side and B on the other and i can see the black wires your talking about but i cant find a D anywere, is it the other pink or the blue plug?

plz excuse the amount of questions just thought it would hav been a quick fix and bite off a hell of a lot more than i can chew.
