code problems

Featured Replies

1st question is: what is code 23?

 

2nd: how do you erase the stored codes.

 

Just to toss this in there, how do you clean the IAC? How do you remove it? I think that this is the only thing left that is wrong with my car. Either that or replace the throttle cable.

Need to know which car you're talking about here. I'm assuming your XT6.

Contains the listing of codes and a semi-confusing explanation of the connectors. On your XT6, the connectors are in the trunk.

 

Oh, and how do you like Winnemucca? My room mates are moving there since they've taken jobs at Newmont.

Its all right here. Not the greatest for me cause nobody understands the concept of cruisin at all. Are they soob fans as well?? Maybe at long last there will be some other ppl here who know a thing or two.

 

Tell them congrats on getting the job too. I would work for newmont but after applying for them for a year straight, every 3 to 4 weeks, i havent even been called about an interview. I think they have no intentions of ever hiring me. Which mine will they be working at. Pheonix project? Twin Creeks??

Not sure with the xt6 but on the EJ ecu's you just unplug power from them (either the plug on the ECU or the battery terminal) and wait about 10mins. Then plug it all back in and shes a clean slate.

23 looks like the MAF sensor.

 

pull it out and look at the thin wires going through it, if any are broken it needs replaced. you could try cleaning it with MAF cleaner (any auto parts store will have it) and reinstalling. and make sure all the pins/connectors are clean.

 

the IAC is simple...it's only one bolt holding it with a bracket onto the intake manifold. remove bolt, pull it out and keep hosing the inside air passages down with cleaner until it comes out clear and all the blackness is gone.

I bought some electric component cleaner, as i was advised not to use carb cleaner, and cleaned and inspected the MAF. All the thin wires look to be intact. Made sure the wire harness was good and clean and had a solid connection.

 

I've looked at some of the pictures, for what few that i have found. And im confused by this because apparently the TPS and IAC are the exact same thing. Which i know is not the case. Are they hooked together in any sort of way? Finally got some good weather so i'd hopefully like to get this done so i can get the 6 back on the road.

they are both bolted to the throttle body, but are not the same thing.
