Not sure who all knows this or not, Charlie's car is running again just fine with no more codes. I have documented some of the work on my Facebook account.    https://www.facebook.com/SpadeCustoms/   ;)

Now I am just waiting on a new exhaust to show up to complete this project. It will be "Run for the Hills" ready! 8)

After Jason rebuilt the harness, repaired all the splices, and properly wrapped and routed the harness, it still had Code 42, which can be a whole bunch of things.  Mostly sensors that had been replaced without improvement.  We contacted Sinister Performance who did my tune and told him about the Code 42 headbanger.  He sent a diagnostic tree and schematic for Code 42 and the Electronic Spark Timing.  Jason verified everything was correct, but due to his keen observations, found that the six-pin harness to the ICM had a bad terminal.  It can be seen in his photos on his Facebook page link, the very first picture. 
There are three kinds of men:

1.    The ones that learn by reading.
2.    The few who learn by observation.
3.    The rest of them have to pee on the electric fence and find out for themselves.    Will Rogers

Very good. I'm happy that it's sorted.
What's even better is that the process actually was a series of definitive fixes.
Tip o' the hat to Jason.

Also a tip 'o the hat to all of you that jumped in to help while the car was at Browns Fiero Service Center.  Every one of you contributed to solutions.

Charlie has his car back. Drove it home, which was about an hour away. I would like to report I believe he was smiling all the way home!   8)
