Got the CEL Codes

[Guero]

113, 122, 177, 332, 542. I cant find the book. I know one of them is the low TPS. and one is the air intake temperature. Not sure on the rest, how would i fix all of them, except the low tps on i know how to fix that one. Thats guys!!!!!

332 is that the EGR isnt seen as being able to open. Is the vac line attached to it? If so, check the EVR inlet vac line to make sure there's manifold vac to it.

542 is a FP circuit issue. This one can be something but often it's a ghost code. Given the work you just had done, I might just clear it and see if it returns.

I think the middle one is an O2 code, but your ACT being so outta whack might be making it read poorly. You can make sure the O2 connector connection is sound if you want. I'd wait on that till the other issues are fixed (just stay out of the throttle too deep if you think you're running lean and/or hear detonation).

Good luck.

i know im running rich you can almost smell gas out the exhaust lol

113 - ACT sensor signal is greater than the Self-Test maximum of 4.6 volts. / ACT circuit has intermittently failed above the maximum of 4.6 volts.

122 - TPS circuit below minimum 0.6 volts. / TPS circuit has intermittently failed below minimum 0.6 volts.

177 - HEGO sensor circuit indicates system rich (left side)

332 - EGR valve opening not detected.

542 - Fuel pump circuit failure

thanks. how do i fix 113, the rest i know

 

[urban96]

make sure its plugged in and not shorting out anywhere. also take it out and inspect it to see if its broken. you may need to buy a new one

what exactly am i looking for?

 

[HISSIN50]

On your air inlet, there's a sensor behind the MAF sensor. It screws into the air inlet. That's the IAT.

look in the white circle....

ok thanks. i think there were just stored in the computer cuz the tps was right on. im resetting as we speak ummm or type... ill see what pops again. i just need the timimg light now. and by the way, the a/c freon is empty can i go buy it at checkers and refill it????

 

[Guero]

by the way timing affects how easily a car starts right???? mines a bitch to start

 

[HISSIN50]

You can get R134 at the parts store.

Timing does affect starting, though not as much as it did on carbed stuff. Generally, real slow cranking initially and chugging while the motor is cold can be retarded timing.

Having trouble starting in the first place can be too advanced.

But like I said, unless you're off by a country mile bud, it shouldnt be too much of an issue.

Good luck!

i finally bo8ght a timimgn light. and i cant even see numbers on the balancer. so i know its way of, how would i begin to corect the timimg if i dont even know if its advanded of retarted. and will that pop a cel?

You need to highlight those timing marks. I got some white paint and a toothpick and painted (highlighted the #s on the balancer) that way I can see them with the timing light. I did them all (maybe overkill) but you can just mark #s (timing marks) that you will target.

 

[HISSIN50]

Al is right. I'm lazy so I use a silver sharpie on black balancers and a black Sharpie on natural finish balancers - I put a dot on 10 and 14*.

Incorrect timing alone shouldnt be popping a code.

Good luck.
