I cleaned the one distributor cap and rotor (rotor required some filing). The other dist cap looked OK.
While I'm waiting for the parts to arrive from our forum host, I thought that I might go for a test drive.
Still getting 17 blinks on the DM
"Data exchange fault between individual control module"
I fail to see how a bad rotor or dist cap could cause that type of error.
It's a data error
I pulled codes from all other sockets 4, 7, 8, 17 and all OK.
I willing to bet the car that when I replace the dist caps and rotors, I'll still get that fault. Heck, Even if I replace the plugs, wires etc I'll still get that fault. Car runs good after cleaning the rotor& cap, I can FEEL more power (until closed loop kicks in perhaps).

I NEED HELP WITH 17 BLINKS!!!
