Default Code 17......Possible causes ?

Just scanned the Bonne a little bit ago and I keep getting the same code.

What are the possible causes for this code to set ?

The car still runs but it seems to be a little slugish at times.

Thanks in Advance,
Dutch

Tech Info say'*;
17 - Spark Reference Circuit

Mitchell say'*;
17 - RPM Signal Problem

What I'm wondering is, what typically causes this or what have you seen cause this before ?

Coil Pack going, Computer, etc. ??

The wiring seems to be good, didn't see any wear on the split loom or wires, last time I was under the hood replacing the Cam sensor.

The RPM signal comes from the Coil Pack correct ?

Any suggestions would be great,
Thanks,
Dutch

IIRC this may relate to wiring or a crank sensor issue. I'm going to get a couple more gearheads on this one with more experience in this code.

Thanks, any help would be great.

Here is the link to my other post about the Cam sensor,

I still don't know why I was getting different voltages on that wire I was testing, in the previous post.

Thanks,
Dutch

No one I know of.

I live close to PeterG'* work, but I don't know if he has a manual or not.

I have a copy of Mitchell and it says to test various wires, but I don't know if this is the same procedure as FSM. I would assume it is, its usually pretty acurate.

Has anyone else had this code before ?
If so what was causing it ?

Thanks,
Dutch
