I have a question and hopefully somebody can help me out.
On a recent road trip my cat burnt and clogged up shutting down the truck. From the side of the road, I rammed a rod thru it trying to free it up. A few miles down the road...it shut off again and wouldn't start back up. As it turned out, I fried the computer. After disconnecting the o2 sensor, which burnt up, and replacing the computer...it started up and ran fine for a few miles until I heard a pop and it shut down again. With no more computer on hand, i took the circuit board out of the housing and pried apart the regulators that melted together. Ever since then, it has a very hard time starting and the cpu gets incredibly hot to the touch and then shuts down again until it cools off. What else could be shorting the cpu. I've heard one suggestion that it could be the TPS, but it still heats up when it is unplugged, or the ignition control module. Has anybody else had this problem and found where the fault lies? Thanks.
