Yes, the CEL is working when the ignition is turned on. But it is not coming on while the car is running. What I don't really understand is, if the engine rotation signal is not showing up, then how is it running at all. Unless the sensor is sending the signal to the ecu, but the tcu is not getting ...

I've got a 92 legacy awd (my son's car) that was in a wreck recently. It was hit in the drivers front side, my son pulled out in front of someone. Since the accident, the car will start up just fine, but runs for only a couple seconds then tries to die. You can rev and feather the throttle and sort ...

Well, I think it's fixed, and I feel a little embarassed to say what the problem was. Yesterday, I drove it again with o2 unplugged (perofrmed better than with o2 plugged in), then changed the o2 out of my parts car (performed a little better yet).

It was cold when I drove it and ran ok till warmed up as always, however it kept running normal for a ...

According to him the problem just started as opposed to gradually getting bad. He initially told me about it, because...

I took of the crank pulley and center timing cover this morning. I discovered the timing belt tensioner only had one bolt in it. The other one had backed out and I guess fallen out when he hit the bump. The other bolt was only in there about three threads. It had pretty severely jumped time. The bol...

This is my 16 year old son's car. He went thru and intersection that grades down on both sides of the cross street to fast, and I guess the car went a little "Dukes of Hazard". He heard a scrape at the time and the car just died. I think it was a pretty harsh impact. Since then the motor w...
