Ok, here goes. Warmed my car up, on my way to work, i had to stop, so i set it in neutral and then it stalled. Then i tried to restart and it cranks over, but wont catch


Now i have a constant CEL and the car is dead, on a main road. HELP


what could it be?

 

IIRC solid with no flashes is Code 0 - and problem with the ECU itself.

 

im going to yank out the VAFC, can i just unplugit from the harness? or should disconnect all the wires?

 

I can't be for sure on the vafc, iirc some of the wires are double tap'd like in a series type deal on the same wire.

 

well car has been running fine with vafc for bout 6 months


could it havea nything to do with timing belt?

spark plugs?

 

looking over my obd1 codes it says sold MIL is ECU, the only other time I see it on is when I jump the ecu check harness to set timing and the car is running

 

keeping in mind its solid because you are checking the code, the light stays solid because there is a problem, it only shows the blinks if the connector is jumped. Is it solid all the time, or solid when you jump the connector

 

solid when the car is like half on(Not starting, but elec **** is on) ..


and when i jump it, the abs codes are blinkin and ****, so iknow im doin it right.. But the CEL is just solid, never turned off

 

The CEL stays solid if there is a problem, if you jump it and it stays solid its the ECU, if you jump it and it flashes get the code and reply.

To stop it from coming on solid all the time, you have to reset it...negative battery cable or the clock/radio fuse

 

alright well i disconnected battery for a few minutes then hookd back up, same thing solid CEL

jumped it, SOLID CEL


The oil and battery lights are on too


i puled the plugs, and they were fine

HELP

I also disonnected VAFC harness (just unclipd) and did nothing

also fkd around with wiring, everythign seems fine and intact

HELP

 

I'm telling you man, solid when jumped is CODE 0 - ECU look it up.

 

so what does that mean!!!

randomly my ecu just **** itself?


it has to be soemthing major!

 

shorted out or something who knows...I would find a known good one, even an h23 or something just to see if the car starts. Of course don't drive it like that.

 

Did you check for actual spark? Check for power at the coil?

Have you checked if you are getting a signal to your fuel injectors?

If you can't get the thing to work or don't know to test this things try pulling the code, if it's a hard code I'll tell you what it is and you can go from there

solid when jumped means that there are no stored codes, your ecu is fucked, when you jump the code, and the light does not come on, that's code zero

 

will a jdm obd1 p13 work ok? or obd2 p13 JDM work?

 

qouted"
It's complicated. Well, really it isn't.

If you get a solid CEL and jump the connector, and it is solid, that means bad ecu.
If you get no solid CEL, and jump the connector, and THEN get a solid CEL, that means everything is ok.

So If you get an unjumped solid cel, don't turn the car off. Jump it, and read the codes without turning the ignition off.

Intermittant running codes may get reset when you turn the car off, hence getting a "NO CELs" solid CEL."

 

I just hooked up a JDM p13 and it still was a constant CEL

no different

HELP PLEASE! i dont want to get it towed from a shop

 

Removed VAFC and i still cant get a code

PLEASE HELP


I can post a video of everythign if u want


SPARK? FUEL? how can i tell?!!!

anything to do wthi the timing belt?

 

NO SPARK!

 

when you unhooked the vafc, did you take the wires out and then rewire the car back to stock?

 

yea i rewired it back to stock... un hooked each wire individually and put back where it was!

what is up with teh ECU, it is a constant CEL no matter what i do... i cant get it to show a code

 

Bad ignition coil??

 

how can i test that? and how can i test a bad dizy?


would u like me to take a video of how the cel looks and etc?
