Recently i bought a computer from phearable.net for my car which is an 0bd1, i put it in and worked fine, but 3 days ago i was replacing the oil pan gasket and i removed the headers(aftermarket) so i could do it, and then when i was finished and started the car the CEL came on and the idle was high. what could be the problem, or how can i read the DTCs?

 

did u remember to conect the o2 sensor back

 

no i forgot so i put the car up again and hooked it up real quick, unplugged the battery for a few mins. and started the car again but the light came back on and the idle went high again, i dont know why but every time i would shut the car off and start it again the light would take around 5 secs before it would come on and the idle would go to around 1500rpms

 

bump

 

Check the plug on your iacv. Its directly on the backside of the manifold

 

the intake manifold?

 

Make sure everything is hooked up the way it was before. Disconnect your battery for like 30 min. at least to be sure it's reset. If this doesn't work search how to check codes. Good luck!

 

yeah the thing is how can i check the codes? its an obd1 ecu but its in a obd2 car

 

Hate to say it but SEARCH

theres a plug u have to disconnect i think its the purge control solenoid when switching to obd1 ecus from obd2. its located on the fuel rail

 

yeah ive been looking around havent found anything yet, the car wont start now, or if it does it shuts down

 

i will get some pictures for you as soon as i figure it out. its being gay still kinda new at -ht
