I have no way to check codes yet.
They are called thermactor.
One goes to smog pump the other one goes to the by pass valve.
Thanks alot for the fast responce this is driving me nuts.
If you have a paper clip, you can check the codes. If you don't have a paper clip, borrow a hair pin from the woman in your life (I guess they still use hair pins).
Dump the codes and see what the computer says is wrong…
Here's the link to dump the computer codes with only a jumper wire or paper clip and the check engine light, or test light or voltmeter. I’ve used it for years, and it works great.
IF your car is an 86-88 stang, you'll have to use the test lamp or voltmeter method. There is no functional check engine light on the 86-88's except possibly the Cali Mass Air cars.
Codes have different answers if the engine is running from the answers that it has when the engine isn't running. It helps a lot to know if you had the engine running when you ran the test.
Trouble codes are either 2 digit or 3 digit, there are no cars that use both 2 digit codes and 3 digit codes.
For those who are intimidated by all the wires & connections, see http://www.actron.com/product_detail.php?pid=16153 for what a typical hand scanner looks like. Normal retail price is about $30 or so at AutoZone or Walmart.
Thanks, I will go buy a test light i guee and see.
My car is a 87 so it has no chech engine light.
Thanks Again I will post what I find in about an hour.
Ok went and got a test light.
put the jumper wire in there and checked it.
Nothing at all light never even flickered?
it looks like the computer puts voltageto the STI.Is this correct?
If so used the test light and nothing there.
NOW What to do?
Also does that wiring diagram work on 87 also?
I noticed it says 88-91.
Thanks Again, Eddie
Well after tearing the car apart aand tracing wires I found a few things.
1) the orange ground wire to the rear of the motor was loose.no ground to computer.
2) After looking into it futher the wire that goes from pin 32 or 38 was in the wrong place. Reason the thermactor had no signal.
Put it all back together and I now have vaccum!
Now I just have to take it monday and see if it passes.
Also now that I have a ground I pulled the codes and they were 35-96
This is a mass air conversion that was not done right as I have found out!
Thanks for the help! I will keep you posted on Mon.
Thanks jrichker, Your the MAN! :worship: :worship: :worship:
Code 35 EVR - EVP sensor signal is/was high – Bad sensor, or possible missing ground for EVR circuit. With the power off, measure the resistance between the black wire and battery ground. You should see less than 1 ohm. Check the same black wire on the EGR and MAP sensor. More than 1 ohm there and the wire is probably broken in the harness between the engine and the computer. The 10 pin connectors pass the black wire back to the computer, and can cause problems.
See the following website for some help from Tmoss (diagram designer) & Stang&2Birds (website host)
Code 96 – KOEO- Fuel pump monitor circuit shows no power - Fuel pump relay or battery power feed was open - Power / Fuel Pump Circuits. The fuel pump lost power at some time while the ignition switch was in the run position.
Look for a failing fuel pump relay, bad connections or broken wiring. The fuel pump relay is located under the Mass Air Meter on Fox bodied stangs built after 91. On earlier model cars is under the passenger seat. On Mass Air Conversions, the signal lead that tells the computer that the fuel pump has power may not have been wired correctly. See http://www.stangnet.com/tech/maf/massairconversion.html
Look for power at the fuel pump - the fuel pump has a connector at the rear of the car with a pink/black wire and a black wire that goes to the fuel pump. The pink/black wire should be hot when the test connector is jumpered to the test position. . To trick the fuel pump into running, find the ECC test connector and jump the connector in the lower RH corner to ground. http://www.mustangworks.com/articles/electronics/eec-iv_codes.html for a description of the test connector. it. No voltage when jumpered, check the fuel pump relay and fuse links.
86-90 Models:
Using the diagram, check the red/black wire from the fuel pump relay: you should see 12 volts or so. If not, check the inertia switch: on a hatch it is on the drivers side by the taillight. Look for a black rubber plug that pops out: if you don't find it, then loosen up the plastic trim. Check for voltage on both sides of the switch. If there is voltage on both sides, then check the Pink/black wire on the fuel pump relay: it is the power feed to the fuel pump. Good voltage there, then the fuel pump is the likely culprit since it is getting power. No voltage there, check the Orange/Lt blue wire, it is the power feed to the fuel pump relay & has a fuse link in it. Good voltage there & at the Pink/black wire, swap the relay.
91-93 Models:
Using the diagram, check the dark green/yellow wire from the fuel pump relay: you should see 12 volts or so. If not the relay has failed or is intermittent. Check the inertia switch: on a hatch it is on the drivers side by the taillight. Look for a black rubber plug that pops out: if you don't find it, then loosen up the plastic trim. Check for voltage on both sides of the switch. If there is voltage on both sides, then check the Pink/black wire on the fuel pump relay: it is the power feed to the fuel pump. Good voltage there, then the fuel pump is the likely culprit since it is getting power. No voltage there, check the Pink/black wire, it is the power feed to the fuel pump relay & has a fuse link in it. Good voltage there & at the dark green/yellow wire, swap the relay.
Well again thanks,
my guess is the bad ground was the problem with the evr.
Not sure about the fuel pump code but think it is normal as the car was a mass air conversion.
They didnt run the wire to the relay.
Just got back from smog and it passed with flying colors.
Thanks much for all the help.
