Set a code today.

93 DX hatch, D16Z6 vtec automatic

Just playing around today. Decided to see if she would hit 100. She was pulling pretty good when it hit 90 but the CEL came on. No change in the engine but I backed off anyway just in case. I'll get the code read but was wondering if anybody has any thoughts.

"danger to manifold" . jk

IN reall life though, I have seen something happen when you have oil or coolant pressure problems. I have seen this happen in two different situations.

1. In a friends hatch when we went up to the mountains, altitude affected his pressure lines somehow. Wasn't a problem but he got the code and we saw the oil pressure rising.

2. Lexus sc, going up around 120-130 and it gave an engine code. The pressure in the oil was rising as well.

I have heard that you can get that code with coolant temp/pressure but I have never seen it myself to say that it can happen but...as soon as you can post the code.

Have you revised your engine bay? any loose hoses?

All of it is just going to be speculation until you figure out what the code is.

most likely code 88


Code 0 ECU ECU bad, or ECU fuse blown Check ECU Fuse, Check Eeprom is in socket correctly and not loose

Code 1 Oxygen Sensor Loose Wiring, Bad Sensor If getting tuning done, don’t worry about this code its not vital and will be disabled

Code 3 and 5 Map Sensor Wiring, Bad Sensor Make sure sensor is plugged in and wiring is correct

Code 4 CKP (crankshaft position sensor) Loose Wiring Check that distributor plugs are connected and wiring is not loose

Code 6 Coolant Temperature Loose Wiring, Bad Sensor Check that plug is connected and wiring is not loose

Code 7 TPS (throttle position sensor) Loose Wiring, Bad Sensor Make sure sensor is plugged in and wiring is correct

Code 8 TDC Position (Top Dead Center) Loose Wiring Check that distributor plugs are connected and wiring is not loose

Code 9 No.1 Cylinder Position (CYP) Loose Wiring Check that distributor plugs are connected and wiring is not loose

Code 10 Intake Air Temperature (IAT) Incorrect harness plug, Bad Sensor Check that correct sensor plug is connected, Replace Sensor

Code 12 Exhaust Gas Recirculation Incorrect harness plug, Bad Sensor If getting tuning done, don’t worry about this code its not vital and will be disabled

Code 13 Barometric Pressure Bad Sensor If getting tuning done, don’t worry about this code its not vital and will be disabled

Code 14 Idle Air Control Valve (IACV) Incorrect harness plug, Bad Sensor Check that correct sensor plug is connected, Replace Sensor

Code 15 Ignition Output Signal Loose Wiring, Bad Sensor Check wiring, most likely wiring will be the issue

Code 16 Fuel Injector Loose Wiring Check wiring, most likely wiring will be the issue

Code 17 Vehicle Speed Sensor Loose Wiring, Bad Sensor Check that plug is connected and wiring is not loose

Code 19 Lock-up Control Solenoid Loose Wiring, Bad Sensor If getting tuning done, don’t worry about this code its not vital and will be disabled

Code 20 Electronic Load Detector (ELD) Loose Wiring, Bad Sensor If getting tuning done, don’t worry about this code its not vital and will be disabled

Code 21 Vtec Solenoid Loose Wiring, Bad Sensor This is common, make wire is ran to correct ecu pin location (pin D14)

Code 22 Vtec Pressure Switch Loose Wiring, No oil pressure If getting tuning done, don’t worry about this code its not vital and will be disabled

Code 23 Knock Sensor Loose Wiring, Bad Sensor If getting tuning done, don’t worry about this code its not vital and will be disabled

Code 41 and 48 Oxygen Sensor Heater Circuit Loose Wiring, Bad Sensor If getting tuning done, don’t worry about this code its not vital and will be disabled

Code 43 Fuel System Supply Low fuel pressure, vacuum leaks Make sure fuel pressure is adequate at idle (40-50psi base), check for vacuum leaks

Code 88 Flux Capacitor Not Engaging, most likely lack of plutonium which is needed to create the 1.21 jiggawatts of electricity that will activate the time travel process. Can also use a lightning rod and hope for a bolt of lightning bolt to strike your vehicle while traveling 88mph

Heard about but have never seen the code 88 thrown.

Well with plutonium being sold in every corner drug store these days it doesn't happen nearly as often as it use to.

 

[lethal6]

Keep in mind code 88 can also be thrown because of a blown fuse to the time circuits.

No need for plutonium anymore. You can do the Mr. Fusion mod cheap as hell now.

Had two codes. 22 - vTec pressure solenoid and the 88 - flux capacitor. Picked up the new plutonium six-pack at Autozone for the 88 but not sure how to proceed with the 22.

Code 22 will go away after installing the plutonium flux capacitor...Vtec runs of plutonium radiation lol

Here is a video on slight testing of the solenoid:

Here is another on the vtec "switch":

These are kind of boring but you get a good picture of what's going on and what to check. Do you have a service manual? Have you checked the VTEC Solenoid already? any visible oil of a leak?

^impressive for a noob.

but not sure how to proceed with the 22.

Start by cleaning or replacing the VTEC solenoid gasket/filter. The filter may be clogged.

I'll get to it this weekend, thanks
