I replaced the ECM and nothing. Every time I come to a stop my oil light flickers and the car shuts off. I got a new VVT and the same problem. I'm positive it's a wiring issue. Can you help please? Thank you

Hi,

Have you checked to confirm there is power to it from the PCM? Also, have you confirmed a ground path from the PCM?

If not, that is where we need to start. I attached a portion of the wiring schematic below. I identified each wire color as positive and ground. Disconnect the connector, turn the key to the run position, and check the yellow wire for power.

Let me know what you find. Also, here is a link you may find helpful:

Take care,
