Perform a voltage drop test on all of your cables

Are there any other grounds that I'm missing? I've replaced the head to frame ground. Replaced thermostat ground eyelet and cleaned mounting surface. I have the entire wiring harness exposed and don't see any issues with any wires. Wondering if I got a defective new ECM.If the sensor has appropriate resistance with temperature, and the computer thinks it's -40, you clearly have a wiring problem between sensor and ECM.
It'd be worth checking the TPS as well. Either the TPS is toast, or the wiring is, since the voltage doesn't change as you open the throttle.
Given that the battery voltage is in the toilet via the scan tool, it seems like the wire harness may be a three-way fail; and who knows what the other sensors are showing.
Battery charging at 13.6 seems low. I'd have expected 14.2 or perhaps a bit higher. What is the battery voltage with the engine off and no load? Is the battery so depleted that it's sabotaging the rest of the electrical system?
I will try that. Thanks.Perform a voltage drop test on all of your cables
All powers and grounds are good at ECM back probing. Is it possible I installed the wrong PROM? It was a JET prom. Here are pics of scan data KOEO. Battery voltage shows 0.00. I also noticed that the prom ID number keeps randomly changing without touching anything.Maybe could back probe the ecm at power and ground to make sure you get what your battery is saying...
THANKS good buddyyeesh...wild...
Maybe you're on to something regarding the prom. I'm always hearing that getting things working stock is the best avenue. I'm guessing the scanner checks out on other vehicles...
I noticed in the manuals section that the 88 vintage may have wiring diagrams that could be useful but I'm not familiar with this series.. But there is the manual with p series if that's what this is and it has some tbi diagrams in it...nothing in the 89 afaik...

1228747 ECM and "AKWA" PROM chip. I replaced with the Cardone 77-8747 and put in Jet chip #289128. Is this the wrong Chip? The capability chart shows 89-90 Chev and GMC truck 5.7. Any possibility this van needs a different chip? Any thoughts? I attached the chart below.Post your ECM P/N and PROM ID please. I might have a ECM and Prom on the shelf. I will check when I get back to the shop.
