ECU errors 15, 16, 22

Post by cdanders »

I am assuming the 15 and 16 (fuel injectors 2 and 3 inoperative ) are causing the 22 (knock sensor).

Does anyone think Sea Foam might solve the issue? I have never used it.


Thanks,

before trying to use that seafoam, make sure the injectors are connected correctly. Maybe pull off the connector and clean it up a bit. That would be the first thing that i do.

After verifying the connectors, clear the codes and see if they don't clear, or if they come back right away.

I have code 17 and 22, as well as many others the last time I pulled my codes. I wonder if I try this if it will help fix some of my problems...

I pulled one of the connecter off of one of the injectors and the little notch that holds it in place broke off, and I was very careful when I was pulling it off. Is there a way to fix this, and am I ok. I was thinking that I can maybe slip an O-ring in there and use this to keep it tight. I am also waiting a while before I pull the other connectors off.

For some reason both of my passenger side injectors are like that -- the little tab that clips onto the harness connector is missing. They seem to hold in place decently anyway; I've put nearly 20,000 miles on the car since without troubles.

It might help to use a hair dryer or even a heat gun to make sure the plastic is warm before trying to remove the other connectors, to get maximum pliability.

I might try doing it when it's a little warmer too, and I will try the heat gun as well. I will just keep my eye on the connector and make sure it doesn't come loose...
