how do you read your cel codes? any device used to plug into ecu? wondering cause i just went turbo and just got a cel....any best method for the antifouler? or for the ZPI stage 0? thanks guys!

 

Go to Autozone and borrow a OBD II scanner. You'll find the plug under the steering column by your left knee.

 

just buy a reader, it will come in handy. its less than 100$ for a decent reader and its worth the investment.

 

DTC diagnostic trouble codes

Anatomy of the DTC
A DTC is made up of 5 digits. The figure below demonstrates the composition of a DTC. With this information it is easier to trouble shoot a DTC without knowing the description of the code.



Types of DTC's
There are two categories of DTC's that apply to OBDII. They are listed below with Type A being the more severe.

Type A
Emissions related.
Requests illumination of the MIL after one failed driving cycle.
Stores a freeze frame DTC after one failed driving cycle.



Type B
Emissions related.
Sets a Pending Trouble Code after one failed driving cycle.
Clears a Pending Trouble Code after one successful driving cycle.
Turns on the MIL after two consecutive failed driving cycles.
Stores a freeze frame after two consecutive failed driving cycles.

bump for my knowledge
thanks
for ur interest i have
po 352 ignition coil b primary/secondary circuit malfunction
thoughts?
in the process, long long process, of installing greddy turbo.
got the cel and emanage says ch2 not responding (or something like that)

 

sounds like one of your spark plugs. Pull them out and check them. You might have benn running too rich and fouled one of them.

 

i think its still running to rich cuz it reaks of gas

 

Then thats def your issue. I had all 4 of those codes before. All my plugs were fouled. Pull them out and check'em, i bet they are black!

 

they r brand new! ill be ____ed, only one place in chicago had them

 

i fouled brand spanking new NGK 7's in less than a day. Its pretty easy to do it. If your running sooooo rich you can smell it, then they are definately fouled. Remember iridium plugs spark cooler than stardard plugs, lessing the chance of pre-detination.

 

yeah thats what i got, actually i think even better but thats not the point. whats keeping me from doing it again?

 

You need to get tuned. What kind of EMS are you running? What size injectors? What kit are u running?

 

im gonna get tuned, once i get the car running so i can take it to the shop.
emanage ultimate, 440cc injectors, greddy kit w/ base map
havent RUN it yet though
we soldered according to the directions, which apparently is the wrong thing to do, now im waiting on the pnp harness, but trying to get as much fixed as possible b4 that gets here and see if the wiring is right or its something else
the emanage says ch2 not responding or something like that, its on my friends laptop
the cel says what i posted above.
since i dropped my car off to get body work and tryin to get this turbo running, its now been a month since i drove my car more than in and out of the garage one time.
she pushes so lightly, i think i can pull her now.

 

well, its not the plugs.
