After doing the emissions removal, removing the power steering, and removing the a/c I now have the stepping motor error beep. Anyone have any similar problems? Are there any sensors that when unplugged will cause this? Im just trying to trouble shoot what I might have forgotten to plug back in.

 

might be the power steering...
what year is your car?

 

87 turbo II, as far as I know the ecu shouldnt have a real problem with it being gone.

 

Update: After taking the car on a 2-3 hour test drive it ran like a champ minus the exhuast leak and beeping, but then while pulling into my driveway to put her away for the night the 3 beeps changed to 1 beep - pause - 1 beep - pause. Once I turned the car off and then turned to key on again it was back to 3 beeps. Hopefully that will serve as useful evidence in tracking the culprit.

list everything you ditched.

 

Pull the plug off of your power steering computer, located near the steering column- can't miss it...

Hell, while you're at it, pull the power steering computer too (another .25 lbs. off the car! WOO HOO )

 

I didn't have an error when my PS was removed but the PS computer was still installed and plugged in... weird. I eventually did take it out, though.

 

Update no 2: I took a while tonight to just go through the car as carefully as I could looking for loose/broken wires and so far this is all I found. I think it has something to do with the a/c fan/dryer that was removed but im not to certain since it decides to dissapear into the harness. Anyone recognize this? Oh and a list of things that were removed are in my sig

 

Try this again.

Nope.

 

Only took me two days to post a picture of what I was talking about

 

? Never seen a plug down there before. I might guess at the optional efan.

 

that almost looks like the same type of wire/connection that the 02 sensor has, although seeing the CAS, its something else ... as the 02 sensor is on the other side

 

Does it have 12v on it? What about with key on?

Is it your leading coil tach signal (I wouldn't think so)?

Or your power steering switch wire?

 

Think airconditioner compressor wire.

 

Think airconditioner compressor wire.

 

Yeah im pretty sure thats what it is but I went out and double checked and it sees 0v constant and 0v at key on. I guess thats not the problem, hmm time to keep on looking, to bad im starting to get used to the beeping now its making me lazy =)
