well i was wondering how to read the codes on the ecu in my hatch.its a 91 d15b7..and how to fix the problem.

 

check the faqs section it has everything u need

 

since portland is being a lazy douche ill anwer, pull the carpet back on pasenger side and you'll see the ecu. it wil flash a consecutive number of flashes. if it flashes a different pattern, then each different pattern(1 flash= code 1,4= code4 ect) means another different code.

 

lol.sorry i wasnt accurate at all on my post but i meant, how many blinks is what,i just re checked mine right now and it went, 6 pause, 17 what does this mean?

 

if its just those two then you have codes 6 and 17.

 

yah its just those 2, i found this site right now http://www.downtoground.net/knowledgebase/?p=7 , if these are my problems how could i fix it?

 

lol lazy douche?? I was pointing him in the direction of ecu codes list.so he can troubleshoot it

 

lol.okay lets not start any online fights if thats where this is going, its pointless, but check out that site i listed, http://www.downtoground.net/knowledgebase/?p=7 , im not a car pro or anything but how could i fix this? the error codes read 6 and 17..

 

well 6 water temp sensor and 17 is vehicle speed sensor.for 17 check your VSS and see if the sensor is broken or not,if not.make sure to put it in all the way til it clicks and make sure you have the clip that locks it in place and number 6 you probably need a new thermostat

 

i think the vss is broken, its where the speedo cable goes in right? if it is, there was a piece that was broken...as for the thermostat where is that located? there are many cars like mine at the junkyard so i can go pick one up there next week

 

yes the VSS is the cable that goes into your tranny.you can buy a new one at the dealership for like 20 bucks.well i can lol since i get discount.so replace that and just follow your lower radiator hose to your thermostat.should be below your intake mani

 

the vss i picked up about a week ago at the junkyard...when i pulled it out the motor was sitting on it, forcing me to pull up the motor and have someone pull the cord out, the rear and right side motor mount was off..so if i get another one the problem should be solved..?

 

i was thinking about making a new thread but since were on the radiator , does anyone know why mine turns on when i turn the car on, not starting the car before that..it comes on is that a bad thing? either way if it is or isnt how could i fix this?

 

you mean the fan kicks in before you start? i cant understand your typing

 

yah sorry i was playing some xbox live when i was typing, call of duty! funn lol.but thats what i meant the fan starts when i turn the car on, before i fully start it, and it seems alittle loud too..i wanna fix this i find it weird that this happens

 

nothing wrong with the rad fan blowin down ur motor....check your coolant level.

 

i know right, keep my motor cool hahah but it doesnt bother me that it turns on when i turn the car on, kinda weird tho never happened to me, but its just that it blows so loud, the coolant level could probly be the reason why it blows loud? how loud it was i put my camera behind my car to record the sound of my exhaust and you could hear the fan blown
