Ok last night, my check light came on and my car was boggin. Well I pulled into a parking lot and stopped for a second. I started up my car again and it ran normal after a couple of minutes. Then I took it on the road and drove towards my house and half way home my check light came on again. Then I noticed that I couldn't rev/drive over 3k rpms. Well I made it home and parked it and the next day (today) I drove around for about an hour and it seem like it was fine. Then all of a sudden the check light came back on and I couldn't rev at all. My engine was boggin down. I stopped and turned the car off. I tried to start it up again but it stays on for a second and cuts right off. Now I can't even start the car any more. When I turn the ignition all my gauge lights comes on but the check light goes off. It doesn't stay solid.

I have no idea what the problem is! Would any of you guys know what the problem could be?

 

what code is the check engine light throwing?

 

Ya I'm going to do it tomorrow. Right now I can't find a ride to my car so I have to take care of that tomorrow. Could I use a paper clip and stick both ends (u shape) into the whole that the green plug plugs into? I'll post up the code number tomorrow when ever I get it done.

 

yup, the paper clip trick never fails

 

Ok this is how the LED blinked off the ECU.
2 long blinks, pause, 3 short blinks, pause 4 short blinks, pause, 6 short blinks, pause, and the same step over and over.

What is the code number its throwing? 23? if its 23 I looked in the repair manual and it says that its a knock sensor. I turned to the page where it says how to check knock sensor and it says that the knock sensor is only in integras b17 vtec motors and all legends. I'm confused

 

Wait a second, I have a 90 teg and from what I believe, I don't have to jump off the connector. I can just look at the LED light on my ECU and turn on the car right???

 

your codes:
20 - Electrical Load Detector defective circuit or unplugged / defective sensor

3 - MAP Sensor (Manifold Absolute Pressure) defective circuit or unplugged / defective sensor

4 - CKP Sensor (Crankshaft Position Sensor) defective circuit or unplugged / defective sensor

6 - ECT Sensor (Engine Coolant Temperature) defective circuit or unplugged / defective sensor

 

yup. anything srong with those sensors will cause your problem. it sounds like the connectors have just come loose though.

 

ok i rechecked the lights.
Its like this long blink, pause, long blink, 3 short blinks, pause, 4 short blinks, pause, 6 short blinks, pause, same thing over and over.

 

in that case youre throwing codes:
1
13
4
6

1 - Oxygen Sensor "A" (Primary) defective circuit or unplugged / defective sensor

13 - BARO Sensor (Atmospheric Pressure) defective circuit or unplugged / defective sensor
