What causes a GM engine to set code 42?

What causes a GM engine to set code 42? When the engine speed exceeds 400 RPM, the ECM sends a BYPASS signal to the ignition module which switches the timing to ECM control. The ECM calculates what the timing should be then "tells" the ignition module via the EST circuit. An open or ground in the EST circuit will stall the engine and set a Code 42.

Why does my car have black smoke coming out of the tailpipe?

Why does my car have black smoke coming out of the tailpipe? When this valve is not in operation it should remain closed.
