I just bought a 88 std. civic. The CEL comes on after about 5 mins of driving. Im having a hard time finding out what code(s) are being shown. Please help.

On with the video. The first beeping sounds are the IGN being turned on. So its from the very begining.

 

Looks like a code 1 and a code 16 to me.

 

Thats what I thought too. Thanks

 

i counted 1 flash and then 16 .

i thought code 16 would be 1 long flash followed by 6 short flashes?

O yea your right.

I dont understand why there is 16 short in a row. That doesn't make sense.

 

16 short flashes in a row is weird. sounds like it's time to try another ecu.

If infact the ECU is bad. What causes it to do so? Just from being old, dirty, corroded, etc?

 

Yea it is code 16 and code 1. It's normal for you to have the 16 short flashes or at least in my experience my ecu did the same thing rather than a long and short.

Your ecu is fine.

So when you fixed the problems the codes went away?

 

my ecu only does short flashes and it works perfectly fine

 

Every OBD0 ECU I have messed with you just counted the flashes on.

 

yeah thats code 1 and 16 just count the short flashes

 

code 1 and 16 if someone tells you otherwise tell them to get bent, look up the codes and good luck bro.

 

cod 1 is o2 sensor and code 16 is a injector problem.

 

Thanks everyone. Ive checked all possible loose connections so I guess I have to get new injectors.

 

make sure your injector clips are fully seated right, how is the motor running?

It seems to be running fine. Although idle is a little funny at times.
