So my wagon threw a bunch of codes :(

14 Injector #1 Fuel injector inoperative (Abnormal signal emitted from monitor circuit)

31 Throttle sensor Abnormal voltage input entered from throttle sensor Sets throttle sensor's voltage output to a fixed value

35 Canister purge solenoid valve Solenoid valve inoperative

41 A/F learning control Faulty learning control function

42 Idle switch Abnormal voltage input entered from idle switch

49 Air flow sensor Use of improper air flow sensor

This hit me like a ton of bricks... where do I start? :shock:

Typically, you start by clearing them to see which ones come back.

I cleared the ECU right before I took a drive, so it threw these 6 during a 10 mile drive.

I have some of the same issues. My codes through 14, 24, 35, 44 but it only throughs 14 on the first go around of codes then it goes away and all I have is 24, 35, 44. I had more codes then that so I went through all my sensor conections today and some of them hame some moisture in them. I used compressed air and brake cleaner and fixed a lot of the codes.

Just want to confirm, are you sure the codes are clearing? If you clear the codes, and then check the codes again before you start the car, it should read all clear.

Yes thats correct... I cleared the ECU by disconnecting the battery, and stepping on the brake pedal for about 30 secs. Then I let the car sit for a few... It throws the codes after I start the car and drive for a bit.

That's not a sure fire method to clear them. You need to get under the dash and use the connectors to clear them. Then you can run the car through diagnostics...

I cleared the codes, then checked them again after a drive with the black connectors... Thats wrong? Do I need to use the green ones and then drive? Sorry I am such a noob guys :???:

After clearing the codes, and BEFORE starting the engine again, you should check and verify whether the codes have been cleared.

If you still have a sensor that is out of whack, using the connectors to clear the codes won't work. By killing the memory, and checking the codes before the engine is running, it "should" tell you whether you cleared the codes properly or not. The only exception is if one of the sensors is way out of whack and reading out of its proper range even with the engine not running.
