1991 2.3L DIS - Intermittent Check Engine [Resolved]
Hello, I have a 1991 Mustang - 4 cyl 2.3L DIS
We are nearing the need for a California smog check, but are experiencing an intermittent CEL condition. This has persisted for several months. I did both a KOEO and a KOER test, sending the pulses to the CEL. For the EO test, I seem to be getting three "1" flashes, followed by a very long pause, then three "1" flashes again, another very long pause, then a "1", long pause, then "172". For the ER test, I get an immediate "2", then the idle fluctuates a bit between about 1k and 1.2k. When idle drops down into the 700 range, I get a "1", a long pause, then the CEL flutters very quickly, a pause, then the following series: 172 411 538 536 521 [long pause] [repeat above numbers] [end test] My pop suggested an O2 sensor, but code 172 suggests O2 sensing lean to the right side. Is there 2 sensors on this car? Should I swap them to see if the side code changes? I guess the rest of the codes are due to me not interacting with the ER test. Any help appreciated! Edit: This was resolved. Single upstream O2 sensor replaced ($43). Did a full tune-up. CEL has stayed off now for about 4 days. Last edited by 91CAStang; December 7th, 2011 at 07:06 PM. |
