Hey guys, i remember someone saying something about having to repin o2 sensors with an a9l..
I believe this car was originally an auto car swapped to 5spd. I also have an a9l computer on the shelf.. I can't just plug it in to test it, can I? Would I be better off trying a new unit like what it has in it? (Can't remember the number on it)

That's what i was thinking. I guess I'll leave the manual computer on the shelf and try to find one for auto. My son was telling me he found wet padding around the computer a while back. Could be a sign of what's going on.
The last time my green car went stupid throwing a million random codes the computer was bad.
Everything should start smoothing out now. I put the Mushroom Clown in @stykthyn 's post just before the pass videos.
Just in-case there are any hard-case gremlins:

Here's mine. I'm still pulling dust from that out of the nooks and crannies.
Ok, pulled the compooter out of the car it is a....
C3W1.
Anyhoo, my mad scientist buddy is going to crack it open tomorrow and look for bad capacitors and diodes, blah, blah, blah and replace anything that looks bad. Maybe it'll work, if not, I'll be shopping.

Ok update. I just got off the phone with Jared at LMR. They sell an o2 harness and it is specific to 91-93 cars. He says any pcm from a 91-93 car will work with this harness, but no other. He suggested getting that harness and finding a pcm. I asked if my 92 a9l will work, and he says YES... So, here goes nothin...
Yeah. It didn't do the trick. And I know it's good, I pulled it out of my car. The only thing I haven't tried yet, I think, is the stator in the distributor. It's either that, or a broken wire in the harness, or a bad connection somewhere.
The last vehicle I had kick my butt so bad was an 86 ranger. I traded that sucker in on a silverado.
Edit: i found an old thread last night where people who had symptoms I'm having had a bad stator in their distributor.. So, that's next.
