I have a 93 del sol with a d16y8 engine obd1 p28 ecu not chipped. My check engine light comes on an off, sometimes when I'm driving or sometimes when I start my car. When it comes on, I turn my key off an on until it goes away, or sometimes it just stays on. When it comes on it causes the car to idle an drive funny an kicks off a bad smell from the exhaust. And my v-tec don't work, right when it hits around 4 and half to 5 rpm it just drops back. So I plug it in an got the cel code and its giving me 68. 6 long followed by 8 fast. I know there isn't 68 but I did it a lot of times an still the same code, an sometimes the cel stay solid no blinks just stays on. Does anyone know how I can fix this?

 

For starters, why are you running the wrong motor and the wrong ECU in your car?

 

I bought the car like that I just change the ecu cause they had a p06 non v in it my car was running fine until now, I had it for a year

 

First, make sure the ECU is 100% completely and totally unmolested. Even better, take the top off the ECU, take a picture of it, and post it.

Second, make a video of your CEL blinking and post it. CEL 68 is basically your car's way of saying "**** you". There's no single simple diagnosis.

 

Ok will do as soon as my cel light comes on.

 

The CEL doesn't have to be on for you to take a picture of the innards of it.

 

Sorry man I was talking about the video. It's 12:22 am over here I was gonna take the picture when I wake up in the morning

 

 

Your ECU has been chipped, it isn't stock. See that chip in the bottom left, with all the white **** crusted on it? That's an aftermarket chip. For a chipped ECU, CEL 68 means either the code has gone wrong, or the solders are fucked up.

Call up zenocron. Tell them what you have in your car, and what you need. They'll cut you a new chip. That's your cheapest option. The second option is to buy the correct ECU for the car. Assuming you don't know how to check solder joints, I'd start with option 1, then go to option 2 if a new chip doesn't fix the problem.

 

 

Ok thanks man appreciate it i will do that

 

Is it zenocron or xenocron

 

xenocron, and I'm stupid. Sorry about that.
