I know it is hard to get on. I waste a lot of time; not sure why. Must be because the folks on this forum are good people, especially if they keep trying too.
You replied to my last suggestion, but without saying what I asked. Just said it is your daily if you get it running, and asked what parts need to be replaced.
Let's go over those warning lamps again. You say only CEL, Service, and Upshift lamps are on in test mode KP-II. The alternator D+ terminal provides the "ground" return through diodes in the instrument cluster for the Battery, Parking Brake, Brake Failure, and Bulb Integrity warning lamps, but the Oil Pressure and SRS lamps have independent grounds. Describe again exactly which lamps pass lamp test and which don't.
The ICU gets power from two sources, one battery and one ignition switched battery. The battery source is through that 25A fuse on the fender. A good check of that circuit is to see 12V at the orange wire into the AMM with key on. What were your results?

Dear Walter,
I hope you can help me here. The other day, I set off for work leaving my husband in the house watching the TV as usual. I hadn't driven more than a mile down the road when the engine conked out and the car shuddered to a halt. I walked back home to get my husband's help. When I got home I couldn't believe my eyes. He was in our bedroom with the neighbor girl.
I am 32, my husband is 34, and the neighbor girl is 22. We have been married for ten years. When I confronted him, he broke down and admitted that they had been having an affair for the past six months. I told him to stop or I would leave him. He was let go from his job six months ago and he says he has been feeling increasingly depressed and worthless. I love him very much, but ever since I gave him the ultimatum he has become increasingly distant. He won't go to counseling and I'm afraid I can't get through to him anymore. Can you please help?
Sincerely,
Sheila
Dear Sheila:
A car stalling after being driven a short distance can be caused by a variety of faults with the engine. Start by checking that there is no debris in the fuel line. If it is clear, check the vacuum pipes and hoses on the intake manifold and also check all grounding wires. If none of these approaches solves the problem, it could be that the fuel pump itself is faulty, causing low delivery pressure to the carburetor float chamber. I hope this helps.
Walter
