Erorr code checker lamp, key on, not blinking.

I am not getting any kind of error what so ever. I can unplug a scensor, and nada. The lamp works, I tested it on the TPS. ANy ideas?

There should be two LED's (you imply just one) and they should light up for three seconds when you turn the ignition on. If they don't you probably have it hooked up wrong.

If you have two led's then the common wire b/t them should go the BLACK/WHITE wire in the six socket, green check connector. The other two go in the two sockets on the left of the black/white.

Like the NZ said, key to ON, the lights come on for about three secconds the goat out. Now if the key is still on, and you pull the elec plug off the boost sensor, you should get a blinking light/lights. I'd warm the engine up first just to make sure the tps is where it should be. This step is probably superstition. Can't hurt.

I screwed up, it works fine. Sorry about that.


Anyhow, I am looking into the injectors as you mentioned Hailers, for my lean problem. Going to test the flow and do the oam checks on it.

I did do the fuel pump relay mod, is it possible I wired something backwards cause me to run lean?

Make sure you have the polarity of the LED's correct.

No, LED's will only flow current in one direction.
