Hi,

I attached diagnostics related to the ignition control module (ICM). Take a look through them and let me know if you are comfortable performing them.

Take care,

Joe

I haven't checked the ICM just yet due to little to no time but I will later today. But this morning I had a friend over and when I went to start the car it started but as soon as the video ended it started to idle by itself, I didn't need to give it gas. At 1.5 pm but the thing is I didn't touch anything from the last time I worked on it. What changed?

Hi,

I noticed the timing belt cover is off. Have you checked to make sure the timing is correct?

Let me know.

I tried searching up how but I can't seem to find the notches that are being shown in the video or any markings on the belt.

Hi,

I attached two pics below. One shows the marks for the crankshaft and the other shows the camshaft.

I just listened again and have a question. Have you confirmed there isn't a plugged catalytic converter?

Let me know.

Joe

See pics below.

I checked the timing it looks all lined up. I haven't checked the Catalytic converter but before the car stopped running I did have a faulty catalytic converter code.

Remove the upstream oxygen sensor and see if it runs any better. It won't be perfect, but the additional outlet for exhaust to escape will help.

Also, take a look through this link. You may find it helpful.
