This might should have been OT, but I am in a pinch. I have an 89' GMC pickup truck this is not running well. I cannot find my shop manual but I was able to desyphire the diag. code. The fault code is "4-2". I believe that all of GM used the same format that year. Can someone tell me what that failure code is for, or direct me to a site were I can get it?
Thank you,
Steve

Steve, if the '89 codes are all the same, then you have an Electronic Spark Timing (EST) circuit failure code. It could be due to:
1. a faulty ignition module
2. a faulty connection/ground between the ignition module and the four-wire connector
