I've stayed on the list looking for failures related to my own. I can't afford the $1500 parts and $???? labor for someone else to do the job either. To make a long story short, my 93 GTS will not start. The failure was sudden. The engine is getting spark, it is getting fuel, and the cam chain has not slipped. There was no sound to indicate a catastrophic mechanical failure of any kind. There is no fault code. I had an indication that the IPS was giving bad readings, so I tested (then broke) and replaced the IPS. Testing since has shown that the sensor is dead-on, though the bike still will not start. My throttle position sensor also tests out fine. I swapped in a "loaner" ECU from a list member (who chooses to remain nameless) and the bike still failed to start and gave all the same sensor readings.... it is possible, however, that the replacement ECU had failed in an identical way. I still had indications of a bad IPS reading, so I unwrapped the entire engine harness, and found one glitchy splice inside. The bike still will not start. In short, I'm out of things to try that don't require starting the bike. What I would propose, then, is that I send you my TPS, my IPS and my ECU. I know for certain that both sensors are fine. Swap in the two sensors and see if it helps. What you can then do for me is install my ECU (since your bike still starts, at least). If the bike goes from giving failure indications to simply not starting, but without fault codes, then I can confirm that my problem is my ECU. Let me know if this works for you, and send me an appropriate shipping address off-list. I can probably get these off to you tomorrow, as my GTS is still torn to pieces. :-( God, I miss my bike. - Bill G. ------------------------------------------------- "How am I supposed to hallucinate with these swirling lights distracting me?" - Lisa Simpson William H.O.
