thats one of the codes. you should actually plug it in, the ecu is injecting the fuel for the additional air that the aws is suppoed to put in

It plugs into the blue headlights on the Cibic, but don't race the Del Sol.

"Because you wouldn't win." [/cocky]



My favorite comment of the whole day (made by me, of course) was:

"What, you didn't know your car wasn't turbo when you bought it?"



Better than "Smells like dead guy."

Well Ed here is the deal, it turns out Neal(Del Sol) bought a stage 3 turbo kit w/front mount from Greddy. He is not doing ANYTHING to his engine, like no fuel mods, better rings ANYTHING and his engine has about 118.000mi on it. How long do you give him?

Your problem with running rich and slow revving, low power sounds very familiar to my problem.



It turned out to be the injector drivers on the ECU were burnt out.



The only indication I had of this problem was the rear rotors spark plugs weren't fouling up when it was running. Other than that, EVERYTHING tested within spec. Including the ECU, it gave no codes or indication of malfunction.



You might try swapping ECU's with someone who has a known working one or using a DMM to test the injector leads off the ECU at idle.



BTW you can test the injectors by attaching a ground and a 12 volt lead to them and listening for a clicking sound.
