Code 41 issue finally resolved!!
Code 41 issue finally resolved!!
Hey Everyone,
Thank you to everyone for taking the time to review my posts and provide input to help me solve my Code 41 issue!! I really appreciate it, and hope that this may help others solve the problem faster!! With the help of a local Fbody and LT1 enthusiast from FB that lives in the next town over, I was able to finally resolve my Code 41 issue on Monday! My car died while I was doing some test runs the weekend after Thanksgiving - so it has been down for over 6 months while I tried to fix it. I've spent countless frustrating hours trying to find the bug, but I did learn a lot.
It turns out it was a bad ICM connector. I had considered it when going through the flowchart from the manual for Code 41, but ruled it out since the volts, ohms and resistance all checked out when I probed it using the shbox tests. This was a mistake since the flowchart at the bottom of the page says it is the ICM or the ICM connector After working a few hours on Monday with some help and almost giving up, I finally suggested trying to start the car while I wiggled the connector. Sure enough it fired up and stayed running while I pushed it up towards the hood, and started several times. I have a connector on order and will get it today. I"m looking forward to driving and improving the car again!

Always good to have follow up when a problem is resolved. Thank you.
Probably would have been a better idea to post it in your earlier thread, for continuity.
