topsecret Posted November 15, 2013 Share Posted November 15, 2013 Hello all. I just re-built an ej 22 inside of a 91 legacy sedan and when I was pulling it I broke the knock sensor. I rewired it and got the computer to reset and then I got a different code for the canister purge solenoid. In the process of putting this all back together the green clips underneath the dash were put together and the car was cycled several times throughout the next few days as I put things together. Now for the weird part. I took the battery out to charge (possibly while it was still in test mode) Now i'm getting the 2 codes flashing on my dash but the green plugs are not connected any longer. The light used to stay solid when the cables were unplugged. The fans on the radiator aren't cycling like they do when the green cables are connected but I can't get the light to stop flashing the obd1 codes which is making it so that my local emissions place won't test it. They will test it if the light is solid but flashing for some reason makes it so they can't/won't. I've undone the battery in test mode, and out of test mode and I still can't seem to get it to turn to just a solid check engine light or to turn off at all. I'm still waiting on a new knock sensor and i'm still diagnosing the second code. Anyone know of a way to get this light solid so I can drive it around a bit while I continue working on it?

topsecret Posted November 15, 2013 Author Share Posted November 15, 2013 wow, i'm an idiot sometimes. I didn't realize there were two test mode connectors on these and the black one was still plugged in. got it back to a solid light. still telling me that I have a canister purge control solenoid issue though hopefully something stupid is loose.

Fairtax4me Posted November 15, 2013 Share Posted November 15, 2013 Is the purge solenoid plugged in? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
topsecret Posted November 15, 2013 Author Share Posted November 15, 2013 its plugged in. I disconnected and reconnected it. flashed it and now the light is gone but I only took it around 2 blocks. maybe it wasn't seated right or maybe the light will come back tomorrow. I don't seem to be having any idle issues with the light on or off. didn't have this issue before I pulled the engine so hopefully it doesn't pop up now...
