THANK YOU JON (codes scanned)

[85crownHPP]

Jon (Grandpa's lincoln) was nice enough to send me his code scanner, seeing how he no longer needs it, post CFI abortion.



here are my results:

KOEO

31 - EPV (EGR valve position sensor) circuit below minimum
PFE (pressure feedback EGR) sensor or cuirciut out of range

88 - throttle kicker input failure
I left this hooked up to my switch to see if the test would catch it, and it did! I hooked it back up for the later tests.

Im not sure if my EGR is hooked up right now, I forget. I should have looked before I did the test. If it is, I have 2 spare EGR valves the try out.

KOER

31 - same as above

33 - EGR valve not opening properly

44 - thermactor air system fault
This may be due to the lack of smog pump, or that the thermactor valve solenoids have no vacuum supply (temporarily). or could be a problem with the solenoids themselves. Once I get the new-fangled smog pump set up, Ill pull the codes again and see if they come up. Just in case, Ill be pulling some spare solenoids next run to the yard.

I did the KOER test twice, once with a quick, 3/4 throttle "goose" test (the way it tells you in the instructions), and another with a slow, 1/2 throttle goose test.
When I did the slow one, i got an additional code,

72 - MAP out of range dudring "goose" test.

Im hoping this is just due to my slow goose!

anyone with any insight or tips regarding these codes, fill me in! Meanwhile I'll be fooling with the EGR and getting my smog pump set back up.

ignore the code 44

I'm glad your finding it useful man. I was wondering if it had ever got there, lol. Sometimes when I had to goose the throttle, I would do it late, and it would throw a TPS code, but that was it.

Pete, if you need any CFI parts, I still got all the shit I pulled from GL. I'll be happy to ship whatever you want out to you.

[85crownHPP]

yes! i may have to do that.
I think I have at least one extra of everything except these smog solenoids, but I can get those from the junkyard for less than it would cost to mail em...
But if I need the unit or something Ill check and see if you still got it

pete says that because in the back of his mind he's thinking how well a carb would suit the led-mobile

[85crownHPP]

bah!
I will relish the CFI in its freakish glory untill it bites the big one. Then I will probably switch out numerous parts trying to fix it THEN maybe switch to carb.
While this is my primary transportation, Im tryin my best to avoid risking opening a can of worms by doing major mods I dont need, and can't afford, lol.
