Error Codes
ok, heres the codes i got:
10 - Cylinder #1 has a problem
40 - Cylinder #4 has a problem
33 - EGR valve is not opening properly(i know whats causing that and thats not the issue)
44 - Thermactor air system fault
64 - ACT (IAT)\vane air temperature sensor falt or circuit grounded
66 - VAF/mass air flow sensor fault, below minimum voltage
67 - Neutral Pressure Switch (NPS) circuit failure, circuit open (3.0L MAF-SFI, 3.8L SFI)
94 - Air diverter solenoid circuit fault
alrighty i have no clue what half that is, i dont know why my cylinders would have a problem. i know why the egr is giving me the error, thats getting fixed when i get a chip burned to tell my computer its perminately off.

RE: Error Codes
heres what u do... unhook the battery for 20 mins, run the car till it reaches full temp and re-scan for codes
and to the guy above.. get a code scanner at wal-mart for like $40
u plug it into the ECC tester under the hood on the driver side near the firewall.

RE: Error Codes
there is a link in the tech articles that explains how to test for codes on an OBDI without buying a tester, you use a jumper wire and led, but anyways i'd also suggest trying to reset the comp by unhooking the battery, I'm assuming your EGR delete? a compression test may tell whats up with 1 and 4, have you looked at the plugs? any detonation? are the plugs lean or rich? whens the last time the car had a tuneup? is the MAF cal'd to your injectors? stock FI size is 19lbs, sampling tube must match. try cleaning the MAF/TB/IAC. AS for neutral pressure switch failure, try starting your car in gear(with foot on brake), this is a safety switch so automatics dont start up and go (car must be in park or neutral to start), 5 spds have a clutch sensor to ensure clutch is fully depressed to start. the EGR delete maybe mesing with the intake air circuit becuase is hasn't been tuned out of the comp yet... good luck hope i was some help

RE: Error Codes
lets see, i got rid of the egr, thats not the issue its been like that. 1 & 4 are running fine to my knowledge, i know im running rich atm, tuneup was done less then 2 months/3,000 miles ago. checked and still all look good, maf = brand new, its tuned for 19# & cai, tb and iac are all brand new. im not worried about the neutral thing.

RE: Error Codes
honestly to me it sounds like you have a bunch of bad grounds. all those sensor circuits you show are wide open, nothing flowing through. i'd say bad/dirty grounds or PCM. Keep in mind that some codes could only be there because of another existing problem. don't assume that everything you listed is bad, more than likely its only 1 or 2 of them.

RE: Error Codes
EEC-IV code Test Type Meaning Problem
11 Both System Pass Nothing is wrong with the electronic system. If there is a problem, chances are it's mechanical.
12 KOER System cannot raise engine speed Check the IAC valve. It may be stuck or sticking.
13 KOER Idle RPM out of specification Idle is either too low or too high.
14 KOER Intermittent loss of PIP signal PIP or ignition module may be malfunctioning.
15 KOER Failure in ECA assembly There is a problem with the Keep Alive Memory. Basically, you need a new ECA.
16 or 17 KOER RPM too low to run EGO test The RPM is low causing the EGO sensor to sense rich. It can also be caused by an adjustable fuel pressure regulator set too high. If this is the case, reduce fuel pressure.

RE: Error Codes
yeah for sure check your grounds out, check the ground from your block to the firewall, and add another ground from your head to your sway bar mount, maybe that granatelli MAF isnt calibrated right or is a POS, check your grounds first then pull codes again, you might need to pull your connections apart and clean them with electric parts cleaner and add some dielectric grease and put em back together

RE: Error Codes
well, all those sensors its erroring are brand new, so im not worried about them. i know their working properly, i just did a intake swap and i changed all the sensor that went in the lower intake manifold and that black rail id ont know what its called. but im not worried about that. and hawk, just goto oreilys and ask for the obd1 scanner, its $39+ tax. their version is better then autozones.
