Hi,
New to the forums here. Great site. I have a 92 SSE (98,000 miles). Car has not been used much the last 4 months or so. I could always go out and it would start and run perfect when I needed it. Well, recently I started it, and after a couple of minutes it just died. After a few hours, it may or may not start. It is not a fuel problem. I think it may be a PCM problem or ground for the PCM. Car has had a interier leak for sometime, so I know there has been moisture on the back floor. Maybe faulty grounds. What I am noticing, is when you turn the key to the run position that the SES light is not lighting up most of the time. I know that it should light up, then go out after the car has started. (sometimes when I turn the key on, it DOES light up, and the car will start and run for a few minutes , then just cut out.) When I get no SES light before cranking, it will not start. ALSO, when I get no SES light prior to starting, I am NOT getting a signal to the connecter (paperclip trick) under the dash. So not even a 1-----2 flash code. The times I turn the key and DO get the SES light to stay on , I can start the car and read codes with a paper clip normally ( no stored codes). Its a very strange problem and do not want to start tossing PCM'* in it until I locate any ground problems that may be causing this. When it is acting up, I hear relays clicking, and even the cooling fans kick on for a split second (a few revolutions) Battery is new and alternater is fine.. I guess what I need are any suggestions and especially I need any GROUND locations on a 92 bonneville that people know the location of. ALSO, all accessories ( windows, locks, ect work fine)

Thank you in advance - Bruce -

I figured out the problem. It is now Fixed!

How did this topic sneak by us, and how did you fix it?

Yeah man, sorry nobody replied. We must have overlooked it, which doesn't happen very often at all. Glad you got it figured out.

Sorry -- I should have explained -- It was a bad PCM -- after about 3 days of chasing wires and grounds and finding no problems. I resorted to the "rapping the PCM with a blunt object trick". I could get the car to run on one whack, and kill it on another. Got a boneyard PCM w/mem cal from another 92 SSE ($40) and it solved all the problems. Seems to be running great.
Take care, Bruce

Wow.. I can't believe I missed it as well... Very sorry. Glad to hear it'* back up and running.
