the only mod i have done to my car is the MPFI swap only have 87k miles on my engine. i have 2 problems that always happen.

my ECU is flashing twice slowly then 15 fast. like this... ....blink...blink....blink.blink.blink.blink.blink 15 times.

i think its my distrubtor. is there a way i can clean a dizzy? or do i have to get a new one

#1. when i turn my car on in the morning, sometimes it shuts down 3-4 times right when i start it up. after those times it will not shut off again until it is cold again.

#2. when i'm cruising sometimes, my check engine light will come on if i hold my gas pedal down for to long. so i have to always drive by pressing gas pedal every now and then instead of just steady and cruising. when the light comes on smoke will come out my exhaust when pressing on the gas pedal. so i shut my car off while rolling and turn it back on so the light isnt on. no more smoke comes out of my exhaust but when the light comes on again it will start to smoke again, then i have to repeat.

i have no i dea why and what these probalems are so please let me know if you have a clue or anyhting about whats wrong with it.

What codes do you have?

 

what do you mean by that?

 

when u did the swap DID U CHANGE EVERYTHING LIK THE MANIFOLD, HARNES, computer,resister box and everything?

 

What he means by codes is what codes are your ecu throwing. Pull up the carpet on your passenger side footwell, find your ecu and find the flashing light. Count the number of flashes and compare that to a key online (I think there's one in the FAQ), if your check engine light is coming on your ecu will be throwing a code.

alright, ill check up on it soon. what about my other problem. do any of you guys know whats wrong with it?? or what could possibly causing it

 

wich one the first prblem or second ?

 

when i turn my car on in the morning, sometimes it shuts down 3-4 times right when i start it up. after those times it will not shut off again until it is cold again.

 

My car would do this and I replaced the main relay and it fixed it. Gotta find out the codes first.

 

blinked 15 times. people telling me its my igniter in my dizzy

 

Yes that is Ignitor. Replace it and go from there

 

it also blinks 2 times slowly. so it goes like, .........blink........blink...blink blink blink blink blink blink 15 times.....

 

bumppp

 

bunmmp

 

so it blinks stall then blink stall. then 15 fast blinks after that?

 

yup yup

 

Sounds like you have multiple codes. It will blink once when you turn on the ignition switch immediately. That is normal and does not mean any codes. It's the blinks after that. So you might have code 1 and 15. Code 1 being 02 sensor.

 

ok, i checked my dizzy today i opened the cap. everyone (as in friends) said it looked brand new.

and how can i replace a o2 sensor
