I sprayed some engine degreaser onto my transmission and the block of my motor. I was careful to keep it away from the sensors and distributor. Then I rinsed the the degreaser off carefully again to keep as much away from the above mentioned parts. Obviously there was some splashing and so forth and some of the sensors got a little wet. When I started the car after letting it sit for about ten minutes, I now have a check engine light on. Could this be from moisture in the sensors?

 

check the code

 

I'll have to go by advance tomorrow and use their tool. I was trying to get some suggestions or input tonite. Does what Im saying sound feasible?

 

advance only does 96 and newer

i went to take my hatch there after i did my swap in my driveway to find out what the CEL was for

 

i thought advance did all obd1 and obd2 cars
atleast thats what the scanner said when i used it?how ever my car is a 97

 

only 96 and newer would be obd-2. I dont see why they wouldnt have a tool for obd-1 cars either. I disconnected all the sensors in question and blew them out with an air nozzle, but the light stayed on. Guess Ill find out tomorrow.

 

just jump your harness and read the CEL.


then come back and tell us what it threw.


Lights up for like 2 seconds = 10

blinks= 1

 

How bout I plug in a scan tool and use it properly to read the code?

 

wow man, obd-1 cars have a led light that blinks the code at you. They even were so nice to put a clear plastic window over it so you can see it.

Don't be a dick to people who are trying to help you either ^^ looks like the jokes on you.

 

Why the would fuck would I wanna jump harnesses when I could use the proper tool and just read the code on a scan tool. I wasnt asking how to read the code, I was asking, like I stated in the second post if it was feasible to get a CEL from moisture in the sensors when I degreased the bay. I understand the other way works too, but thats not the right way to to do it. And the joke is not ON me, the joke IS you.
