I have a 93 rs special edition coupe, past couple days the check engine light would come on intermitently. Im wondering what it could be if anyone has any ideas let me no and ill have a look.
what i have noticed is the Idle has dropped to about 400-500rpm fro like 800. only drops that low once in a while and tach would jump around.
if the cel is on i would check what code its throwing.
you can do that by connecting a jumper wire to the connector thats under the dash,passenger side. the cel will blink. the light will blink a longer blink to represent the first digit of a two digit number and then will blink short for the second digit.
btw the connector is under the passenger kick panel and the harness is the one with the brown wire on it. you just take a paper clip or a small piece of wire etc and connect the 2 then do what the guy above me said
I know that this is old as hell, but I don’t know if I’m looking at the right connector.
I’m getting a CEL after a distributor install on my 92 RS. I put a paper clip in the hanging connector with a brown wire as stated. Turn the key pos to on, and I get nothing…
When I start the car, the CEL comes on…even with the clip there.
it should be a brown connector ill have a pic up tonite
forgot to put why i had it on.
for me it was the speedo cable, it got discconected when i pulled out the cluster accidently pulled it to hard and cable snapped so after i fixed it the cel light went away.
So bizarre… the car seems to run fine, but I have a solid CEL. I can’t get anything blinking via the jumper (in fact I get nothing at all, no CEL light at all).
I wonder if I pulled on the harness too hard when I plugged in the distributor and now I have a sensor issue…
