I have a few problems with my car this one is getting annoying though. every once in awhile when im driving the car would be unresponsive.. I would push down on the pedal and get little to no response for a few seconds then the car would kick in but after that check engine light would come on. I jumped the ecu and got code 17 obd1. my question is how do i fix that? also the speedometer works fine.

 

Are you sure it's code 17 and not codes 1 and 7? Which would be primary O2 sensor and throttle position sensor codes. That sounds more like your problem areas.

 

makes sense ill try to record it and post the video

 

Let me know what you find out... 00 Si doing the same thing..

ok so my car did the no gas thing again today i was on the highway driving 80 and the car started decelerating... i push the gas pedal to the floor and nothing.. i had to keep pumping the pedal before I got acceleration again.. it did it 2 more times after that and no check engine light... im not to sure what that is...

 

anyone?

 

TPS or O2 sensor could do that. I would suspect the TPS, it could be making both codes. If you can, put a scan tool with data feed on it and see what the TPS is reading. It should read about 10% at no throttle and about 90% WOT. If it's not reading right check the throttle plate and throttle cable for binding or looseness. If their ok then your looking at TPS replacement. I think yours is riveted on so, you would have to get a new throttle body.
