Default plz help i swear i cant find the cel code

okay i have a 93 cx hatch with a d15b7 in it manual transmission as well as matching d15b7 ecu..

i have a cel code or atleast it says i do.. i jumped the connector like u are supose to but when trying to count the flashes all it does is flash on and off in 4 second intervals and never stops or has a longer pause.. iv sit watching this thing for 10 minutes now and it never restarted or paused longer then before...i can count 1 1000 ,2 1000, 3 1000, 4 1000 between intervals..

everytime i look up the code it dosent exist and i have no idea what it is iv checked and cleaned and replaced everything that could be at fault

That is probably a code. I know a long blink (1 second) is intake air temp sensor code. And a 1/2 second blink is 02 sensor

the shift light goes off when there is a CEL, i believe this is due to the light being related to the o2 sensor. when you get the light off it should work again

ekhonda87 is right the 1 second flash would be cel-10~ IAT, n the 1/2 second is cel-1~ o2 sensor, the long pause in between is the cycle, if no more codes are present it cycles the same code. The AutoZone scanners are obd2 and as far as i know they don't do it any more. u are doing it right wit the jumper. question... when u re-set the ecu how long does it take for the cel to come back on?

yes i understand how the codes work but every flash is longer then 1 second and there are no fast flashes .. i even unpluged other stuff to see if it would flash right and it does. and after i reset the ecu the code comes back almost immediatly.

i swear if i had a cam i wuld video tape it. i think it might be the white plug on the back of the intake manifold.. if i unplug it the code dosent change or flash a different one. it has 2 wires going to it and 1 of em is green.

but the code never recycles each and every flash for as long as u want to watch is the same

okay and today now it is extremely hard to get it to rev over 3k.. it will but it takes a century.. and now my oil light is on but the sensor is hooked up and the oil is full..

could i be dealing with a faulty ecu? if it was wouldnt the cel just stay on instead of flash?

i would swap ecu's and see how it does. then if you still have issues maybe you can narrow it down easier.

Most auto stores can only read OBDII for free. OBDI is a little different and they don't usually have the connectors for it.

Yes, we do.

The video looked like one long flash to me. So, 10.

i think NOFX is correct, after watching the vid, i would definitely call that a 10. Also, the white plug on the back of the in-man wit 2 phillips screws in it that u referred to is the IAT. BTW AutoZones around here don't pull codes any more, they won't even let u do it yourself. I guess its a local thing.
