I hope that there is something wrong electrically for your sake. Otherwise, that is a lot of crap to replace. I just had like 5 or 6 codes show up at once and i thought that was a lot.

WTF? I see system voltage low. Check your power wires and ground wires. Also check the battery voltage, make sure the PCM hasnt got wet.

Yes, but some of them have nothing to do with electrical...although the sensors send data electrically to the PCM.

I think you might have a major short, or loss or power somewhere after your battery/alternator.
It might be triggering a shitload of sensors, or throwing them off.


Does the car run?
When did it start doing this?
Maybe a rodent got in there deep and chewed some wires?

the car runs but not really that well, it ran geart before but the water pump was wining so i wanted to get to that before it started leaking on the opti, i put on a new water pump and cap and rotor, and i triple check everything, during that time i tryed to read my pcm but it wouldnt read and after i was done with the water pump ect, started it up and it just runs like crap, not IAC not the maf not any of the sencers, not the plugs nore the wires, not the pcm eiether, at frist i thot it was the pcm, but i swaped in another one from the same car and same thing, i had the pcm bench tested and read, everythings fine with it, this is the most frustarating thing, almost everday im out there looking, i checked all the fuses ect ect,

What year car is this? If it's a 93 you can pull the chip and the car will run in "Limp Mode" which is really, running like TOTAL *** lol Literally, you limp it to where you need to go. I don't know what 94+ can do for close to the same thing

So this happened after you changed the water pump? If you scan the car, do they all come back? For the voltage issue, I have seen a really low battery make a car throw ABS codes because it didnt have enough power to operate the hydraulic unit.

Check the grounds by the coil driver and on the side of the block by the dipstick tube. pull on the wires about an inch back fromt the ring terminal to see if the wire broke in the insulation. If not gm pcm's pull this **** when they frag.

Well, i took the TB off and cleaned the IAC and added a new gasket, when i took the TB gasket off was missing a peace, i can not believe that having a vacuum leak would throw all these codes, anyway after i put it all back i started it and it idled fine and ran great, confused so plugged in my data logger in and started to log, i now get constant a MALF 22: TPS Low code, and i see that my Lterm count is at 134 at idle and when in gear both L,term counts are 142 , 135 and those pretty much stayed the same the whole run, and the S,trem counts are around 108 - 128,

When I uplugged the TPS it set a code, and the code stayed even after I plugged it back in, until I cleared the code.
