    OK ,finally have some answers for my car with the codes.. First off all of you that helped me you deserve credit because you were right.. I checked for resistance and could not find any problems.. BTW it was not a megger,just a cheap multi meter..I got to thinking and decided that it has to be a bad MG2 so I pulled it out and low and behold I found a small burned spot on the back side only.. It was maybe 2 inch long and 3/4 in wide.. I put a new MG2 motor in and it drives like a new car...Thank you all for the great advice!!!!:) :D

    Congrats on your success. How about posting a few sharp photos of the burned spot, at least one zoomed in to show the damage in detail and one zoomed out to provide perspective?

    Use ]img]<url_to_photo>]/img] (inverter the "]" so it is a proper tag.)
