Ran codes heres what I got

[V6&V8SHO]

536- BOO circut failure
172- Hego sensor indicates system lean (RH)
29- VSS problem
214- CID circut failure
187- injector pulse width lower than expected
16- IDM circut fault

So what yall think?

do these cars have probs or what? my check engine light just came on today, i need to check the codes...

 

[projectSHO89]

All codes should be either 2 digits or 3 digits in length, depending on the year of the car. No mixing of error code length is allowed.

Try running them again.

The BOO is probably a testing error, you have a HEGO (O2 sensor) code, and a PIP (crank sensor) code.

Thats not the order I got them in, and I did the test 3 times over writing down the numbers to check to see if I got the same codes.

These cars are up to 14 years old with some well past 200K miles (and one a notable 300K+). Many of them were likely originally owned by people who didn't appreciate the need for routine and preventive maintainance once the cars reached a couple years old, hence they were traded off or sold as soon as they started to "show any age".

Switches, sensors, actuators, and anything else will wear out due to mechanical wear and tear. Electronics components, connectors, wiring, etc will fall victim to temperature extremes, temperature cycles, vibration, 4 legged critters, and more.

Of course they will be having problems.

XSSHO was just being sarcastic, he owns a 93 atx just like me, and hes experianced the same probs.

its a govt conspiracy i tell ya!!!

EEC

 

[sdpatt]

As stated before, there should only be three digit codes generated by your EEC. Please run the test again and write them down in the order they were displayed. Differentiate between the hard faults and the memory codes. The faults are displayed first and repeated, then the separator flash, then the memory codes are dosplayed and repeated.

Check Engine

i drove my sho around til normal operating temp then the "check engine" goes on. then i pulled the following codes. i am a little confused about a couple of items. heres what i pulled in order:

511
565
511
565
133 ?
262
833 ?
262
8

here's what i THINK it is:

511
565
511
565
1
332
628
332
628

am i doing this right or am i missing something? with the second sets of codes, they are on the EEC List. how can i fix these errors? thanks for all the infos guys...

 

[Alan]

This may seem like a silly question to those that know but what exactly is the difference between the hard faults and the memory codes?
thanks
alan

 

[shojuan]

memory codes are something that has happened in the past and the computer is storing a code for that event. Hard faults are something that is happening right now while you are performing the test.

help? anyone?

here's what i THINK it is [and you are right this time]:

511 No power to PCM pin 1 or bad PCM (processor)
565 Canister Purge 1 solenoid/circuit failure
511 Repeat of hard fault codes
565 Repeat of hard fault codes
1 Separator pulse
332 EGR did not open/respond during test or if memory code, did not open intermittantly
628 Excessive converter clutch slippage
332 Repeat of memory codes
628 Repeat of memory codes

Now, as to what they mean, the 511 code says that if you don't have an EPROM chip (Superchip, LPM) on your EEC, you have a bad electronic engine control computer. If you have a chip, don't worry about this one.

The 565 says that the solenoid valve that controls the vacuum source to the charcoal purge canister is not operating correctly. This valve is locaed below the coil pack on the vacuum line from the very top of the throttle body to the canister.

The 332 says that your EGR pressure sensor did not detect a pressure change when the valve was told to open by the EEC. It could be from either a non-working EGR valve or plugged passageways. Since it is nearing cold and flu season, I'll bet you have a plugged up nose. Search the Forum for excellent pictures and directions how to clean the nostrils in the intake manifold. You can see if they are clogged by removing the air filter box lid and the intake hose (as one piece). Open the throttle and look at the lower portion of the split in the manifold with a flashlight. See any black boogers in the nostrils, that is the problem.

The 628 says that you are one of the "lucky" ones with an automatic transaxle that is due for a rebuild. Sorry.

Or a broken DPFE sensor. Also check the plumbing to the DPFE sensor and the plumbing to the EGR vacuum control valves. If your nostrils haven't been cleaned recently, this is likely the problem however. The nostrils are constantly snorting black coke.

i do have a Superchip, so i guess i'm ok there.

i just had the 60k done 1 1/2 mos ago so i dont understand why the egr is clogged up, i will look at it.

i just had my tranny rebuilt, good thing i have a warranty on it. back to the tranny shop i guess.

so i take it that these codes are not too serious, except the tranny?

thanks for your inputs sdpatt! thumbs_u

 

[sdpatt]

Cleaning the nostrils is not one of the standard jobs in the 60K service. They get cleaned only when you clean them and there is no scheduled maintenance for this activity. It sure does seem to happen a lot though. I'm guessing that as these cars age, there is more oil getting past the piston rings and into the exhaust gasses. These gasses are the ones being recirculated into the intake manifold through the nostrils. That could be where the extra black snot is coming from.

The good news is that cleaning the nostrils requires only the removal of the intake hose or at most the throttle body. A coat hanger with a 90 degree bend at the end is great at punching the boogers out of the EGR ports in the intake.

i checked my egr valve and the hose was disconnected, placed it back on and no more code 332. good thing that was all that was involved. now i just need to access the purge canister to check the solenoid....
