64149, CEL ON NEW ENGINE NOOOO!
Posted by TapRooT, Dec-03-03 06:24 PM
I just got my car back today with my brand spankin new engine. I was driving testin out the ghetto beast and it was running nice. First time i have actually chirped tires from a roll in my automatic kinda scary actually. But im driving then my Check engine light comes on. I'm like ohhh no =( what can it be this just sucks the balls. I'm hoping its something simple please god i havent had my car for 3 weeks and i just want it back =( even tho im getting rid of it soon. But driving the dakota r/t was not shabby either if i may say myself =). I mean the engine doesnt seem to have anything noticeable wrong with it idle is fine, compression good, i duno? Should i just take it back to the shop and ask them to break into it again if tho i dont want to =( want my car now! THANKS!

keydance doesnt work in the 98's.

o2 sensor circuit high voltage (sensor 1, bank 1)- the upstream sensor in your downpipe..could be bad..or you are running to rich possibly under closed loop..

CELs are a DSMers best friend. downstream o2 is everyone's favorite (i guess). mine comes and goes.

It's being weird i know that =(. Like sometimes when i put it in park the engine like just keeps about dying and then goes back up it doesnt bounce that much but it goes anywhere from like 100 rpms to like 1k i dunno kinda scaring me. But in drive it doesn't to anything bad. But one time i was driving today and i hit the gas a bit and it just didnt do nothing then it finally did something. The guy at autozone guessed i was running really really rich thats what i thought don't know enough to tell yet =(.
