Wow, that is very valuable info thanks for bringing it up again. I needed all this stuff!! Thanks

Hey thanks for the input, It is my understanding that it should give a bouncy reading but should it bounce to the extremes like it does. For some reason I thought it should be boucing in between .6 and .3, I could have got the wrong info though! Maybe the rough Idle is due to something else than huh?

Just want to say there are some smart people that are members here, I think I have read a majority of all threads and have learned a ton since joining, great work people. Anyway down to business! I am curiuos about the O2 sensor operation. My 92 legacy non turbo O2 sensor operates as follows; when i...

Hey Thanks for the reply! So all is good on that end of things, I guess!

I was wondering what the symptoms of this problem are......for future referrence, other than the CEL code!
Thanks

Using vrg3's scan tool, the timing correction stays at 0 degree's all the time and my timing is 20 degrees btdc, I quess the question is, is that normal and could the correction staying at 0 cause low idle when in gear? Any thoughts would be great! One other thing is it normal for the voltage at the...

I actually worked for Auto Meter in Pleasant Grove Utah when I got this tester. I know how they work quite well I have fixed many of these battery volt alternater testers as with everything thing else they sell, as a techy there. To test the alt. connect the unit to the battery terminals then the un...

I have 92 legacy nonturbo automatic and when I shift into gear or turn on the lights the rpms drop from 700 to 500 is this normal. I suspect the alternator but I am hesitant to purchase another. I have a Autometer starter, battery and alternator tester, test indicates operational parts but if put th...

Hey no need to be sorry! If was not for your program I would not even be seeing that sensor or any others for that matter. Pretty funny how I have a desktop seat belted to my passenger seat!

Hey everyone,
I am looking for some results from your ECU scan, I would like to compare my scan to yours, to verify proper engine performance! Please verify if your 92 legacy is a turbo or not.

Thanks,
Dan

Does anybody know what the scan program reading should be for the auto trans input switch? Mine is reading off all the time even when in gear(reverse and drive etc..), I do have an auto tranny I would expect to see a change but I am unsure!

Here is my two cents on the rich running. If the o2 sensor is not working the ecu could be seeing a low voltage (lean) and opening the injectors longer. If the MAF is not working properly the ecu could be getting a signal that indicates lots of air thus trying to compensate by keeping the injectors ...

That is what I was afraid of oh well, guess I need to break out an old desktop to monitor the system its going to look funny with a desktop seat belted in the passenger seat! LOL

I am wondering if anybody has got the scan program to work without using parallel port. I have a parallel to usb adapter and use a dell laptop with no parallel port! Can somebody shed some light on my desperation!

Does anybody know if this bcbfscan program will work if I use a usb to parallel adapter and a dell inspiron b120. I know this is a long shot but I am hoping to able able to use the softwafe with what I have.
