122403, My PCM Codes
Posted by JVStylez, Feb-01-06 05:41 AM
So I ran a keydance on my dsm and got codes:

36: The Secondary Air injection Solenoid, this was removed on the recall, goin to get it reflashed tommorow.

32: EGR Solenoid, Removed it.

11: No crank referance Signal, CPS might be fucked up??

The MAP sensor is on the intake manifold. It is opposite the end of the throttle body. I beleive it is in the vertical direction on the stock intake manifold on the very end (timing belt side). As for the generator thing, your guess is as good as mine.....

if you need a pic...just pm me and I will get you one

The crank reference signal would be the CPS, but be sure to check the wiring and connector as well.

Yeah, I read the codes wrong at first, but edit the post. The CPS tho, theres oil around it, do I take it off and clean it, or just buy a new one?

You could try and clean it up, but personally I would recommend changing. It justs saves you the trouble down the road.

actually I have a couple I could even send to you if you didnt want to buy a new one, but I dont think that they are that expensive

How can you clean it, just whipe the oil off with cloth or do I use alcohol also to clean it?? And how much is for a replacement?

You can call any local parts store and see about a replacement I think. I dont know how much a new one is, it has been a while since I bought one. You can just wipe it off, use a little bit of alcohol, but make sure not to get anything in where the pins are.
Take a Q-tip(dry) and get between those pins and stuff.
Other than that dry back off, lube with some motor oil, very lightly and stick it back in. Do not cover the entire sensor in oil!!! Only a light coat and then wipe off with towel!!!

Hey my bad I was thinking about another sensor, were exactly is this sensor located, aint it on the back of the engine?

yes its on the back of the engine right above the oil filter. It has one bolt, 8 or 10mm I think. You then just have to pull it out, maybe screw driver to help a little, but it is plastic so dont break it.

Is the car running? Running okay?

If the car is running, I wouldn't do anything until after the ECU has been reflashed. If you still get the CEL11 at that time, I would seriously check your timing. It could be falling off. (early tensioner failure)

An easy way to check the functionality of the CAS and CMP is to backprobe them while cranking. It's easier than checking timing, but do a search for "backprobe" to see how to do it and what to look for. If the timing is off and both sensors work, then the ECU will think one signal is messed up.

I missfire at 5k RPM, maybe the TBelt needs replacement?

Do the backprobe and make sure it is within spec. Make sure that rubber piece that goes into the connector is still there and that the connection in clean.

My english is pretty shitty, I didnt quite understood you well. Could you rephrase? lol

I just said make sure that the plug and connector is clean. Also make sure it has the rubber ring on the plug. Do the backprobe thing as outlined in your manual or by searching this site.
