CODE 42 Running weird??...SOLVED!!

Got a code 42 the other day after the truck started running weird. The tach jumps up and down, it doesn't respond to throttle when I hit the pedal to get past the stumbliing. If I hold the pedal to maintain the speed it gets me home. I replaced the module, and the ECM, but not the pickup in the distributor. I also took the 3bar, and Ultimate out. It does it with the stock chip, and 2 bar. It seems that the hotter it is out, it makes the situation get worse. At idle when cold, the tach dips a little at idle, but other than that it runs strong. I let the truck sit for over a year, It started up fine, but has this problem now. I almost forgot, the ecm won't comunnicate with my friends snap on solas scanner, and when I short out the aldl, it sometimes doesn't flash anything, not even the code 12's....Any input would be really appreciated. Thanks guys!!

I replaced the distributor... truck runs a lot better. The pickup must have crapped out.

Replaced the ECM....It was fine on the cooler days, but when the daytime temps got up there, the truck would totally run like crap.

HAHAHAHA, you know its a garage queen. It will be one day when you get done painting it.
I wish I could drive mine, but I'm still waiting for the damn TC to come in. Hopefully by September it will be done and ready for NED.

Lata,
