    I checked all the wiring around the ECM and discovered the bracket with the grounding wire from the engine wasn't bolted to the chassis. I've bolted it down and it's been running for awhile we no code yet. Crossing my fingers! THANK YOU

    Please accept my apology. I was in the middle of some things when I read your post and for some crazy reason I thought you were talking about the engine mount bolts on the passenger side, which is why I mentioned I had torqued those bolts. Anyway, you and Timmastertech MAY have found the...

    Thank you! I'll check all ECM the connections.

    Like what? Timing marks line up. Drives fine. What would you look for? What would cause both a P2610 trouble code and an "emissions fault" warning to display? Next step is to have a shop with a more detailed engine diagnostic computer look at it. Did you see the pic in post #102 showing the 2...

    So I can't do the manual relearn as far as I can tell because the transmission doesn't have a manual mode to put it in 2nd gear. Just a "sport" mode. I stopped by a parts store and checked the codes. It showed 3 of the p2610 codes. One new and 2 stored/permanent. Guess I have no choice but to...

    No. I used a torque wrench on everything. Just drove it and emissions code came back, of course.

    I'll check it. Only wires near the timing assembly is a group of wires in a loom that goes over the rear cam sprocket. I may unplug and replug all the connectors at the ECM that had to be removed for the timing job. Just as a reminder, I was getting both this code and an "emissions fault"...

    You missed it in post #102, and the gas cap was the very first thing I checked.

    Right. It would nice to know what is causing the code. The car was driven daily for a week or so (with the code present since the car still drove absolutely fine) before I took it apart to see if the timing belt was installed incorrectly (it wasn't). I wasn't the one driving the car, but when I...

    We couldn't "clear" it. Neither the guy using his scanner at autozone nor my neighbor with his scanner could clear the code. It just randomly goes away between restarts, but it always comes back. I have no choice but to wait til it comes back (it went away this time after pulling battery cable)...

    I started the car for the first time yesterday after putting everything back together. I didn't pull battery cable this. Started car and service engine light / emissions fault warning were still present. Did a test drive. Used the scanner and got the code. Later I pulled the battery cable for a...

    I'm 99% sure it will come back. I got the ECM/timing error/emissions fault code maybe a hour or so into the first day of driving after replacing everything. A couple days later it was gone when I started the car and came back in less than an hour of driving. So sometimes it sticks around and...

    Cool. So, in my garage, start car and hold rpm's to 3000 until radiator fan comes on. Then drive to an abandoned (or otherwise empty at the time) level road or big parking lot, put the car in 2nd using S mode and accelerate and decelerate (using engine as the brake) from 2500 to 1000 rpm's...
