As most of you know, I have more than a multitude of problems with my Crossfire engine & ECM. My small fire that toasted my TB harness, has now resulted in more problems. My AIC motors had been acting up again, but I could not pinpoint the source of the problem. I was hoping that when I finished up the wiring harness & redoing my valve covers & air breather, things would go my way. When I cranked the car up today the AIC motors did not sync up. My engine smoke out of the D/S of the car returned after letting it run a while. I decided to change the ECM again ( 5th ) and nothing responded. I pulled the ECM out towards the P/S to start troubleshooting when I noticed there was a bare wire. Looking further there are several other burnt wires. Now I have problems. I need advice on what to do concerning my fire under the hood & other hidden damage. I decided not to file an insurance claim & do the repairs myself. Now there are more problems and repair cost that were not obvious at the time.
I checked again today concerning the ECM wiring harness. There is not one available. One option is to pull the CFI, and install another intake and carb. This would probably run around 1000.00. This would be the cheap way out, but I'm worried how much this would cost me in resale value if I try and sell the car at a later time. My neck can't take much more of this.
Please help me evaluate my problems, and suggest what path I should take. I will probably give the insurance company a call tommorow, but have I repaired to much damage.
Suggestions Please!
