Alright so i have a 95 z28 auto and i have an accel optispark and right now i have to hold the key forward and it takes excessive cranks so i took it to the shop and they said it was code 36 check connection to distributor and if connection is good replace it but i have my fans kicking on right away too and a security light is on in the dash when i drive and the a/c is not working but not sure if it need s charged or if its the computer because i think it worked before this all randomly started one day. ses light is on. so should i replace the computer of the distributor? your opinion?

 

36 is high res pulse from the opti. Most likely wiring. The fans come on as soon as the PCM throws a DTC. Don't worry about the AC till you get the running problem solved. OBDI PCM's very very rarely go bad. Don't go throwing a PCM at it. Not yet any way.

 

Closely check the opti harness for corrosion and good connection, first. The Accel optis don't have too good of a track record so far.

 

Try getting is scanned again to see if you still have the same code, or if there are any new ones.

 

good news my accel optispark II is still under warranty of one year so im taking it off and sending it back to summit and exchanging for a new ac delco optispark II and paying 10 more dollars. its a good start to better running, thanks for all the input i feel there is still hope yet
