ehsnils Posted November 12, 2010 Share Posted November 12, 2010 According to the chart here: http://legacygt.com/forums/showthread.php/reading-obd-codes-146240.html Code 14 is injector #1, which is (if I'm right) the right front cylinder. If you have changed injector I suggest that you check the cabling for damages (rodents?) and also ground problems. If nothing else it may be the ECU that has gone bad. The earlier codes (12 etc...) seems to indicate that there is or has been some electrical malfunction like a bad grounding or ECU hiccup. All those codes usually don't come at once in that way. At least it was good that you did read them before clearing them. Take special care to remove cables from grounding points for the ECU, cleaning the contacts and then reconnect them. It may be what's needed. Also check/clean grounding cable between battery and chassis as well as between engine and chassis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fabiousa Posted November 12, 2010 Author Share Posted November 12, 2010 im sorry i know thsat kind bdumb question but how i do that. and u think that why car dont want start. yep i change a inject fuel rack i pick up on junk yard and also i spray on all for connector to make sure it not anything wrong but still not crank will turn but not start and only show that code 14 over and over.

ehsnils Posted November 13, 2010 Share Posted November 13, 2010 A multimeter is usually your friend. And a wiring diagram will help too. Look for Haynes or Chilton books on your car, it may help you too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ehsnils Posted November 13, 2010 Share Posted November 13, 2010 Search for some "Vacation Pix". But I think that for older cars you may not have much success. So doing it the hard way by checking cable colors is probably the way to go. Patience is needed when fixing older cars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fabiousa Posted November 13, 2010 Author Share Posted November 13, 2010 he i doing some test and i mis read or change now i only get a code 13 but it not a spark do u think can be a ignition coil or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ehsnils Posted November 14, 2010 Share Posted November 14, 2010 That's the cam position sensor that's failing, and if that's for real then it won't give a spark since it has no clue about when the spark shall go off. But maybe you should check the battery voltage too before continuing. A bad battery can give really strange problems too. Unloaded battery shall give somewhere around 12V, with load on (headlights on etc) it shall be just slightly lower - like 11.0-11.5. If voltage drops too much you get problems. So now you are down to only a few alternatives; Battery, cam sensor or ECU and possibly some grounding error. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
