Sister7 Posted May 28, 2009 Share Posted May 28, 2009 (edited) I have had a CEL on my '93 legacy for about 3 months now for a purge control solenoid. Yesterday morning my car cranked really good but just wouldn't start. I pulled the codes and got 21 CTS, 32 oxygen, and 35 purge control. I put in a new CTS last night and it was a little hard to start but ran well after it started. This morning I went to leave for work, and it wouldn't start again! Same thing it was cranking hard but just wouldn't start... could the purge control be causing this? I thought that was just emissions junk.... thx!

ericem Posted May 28, 2009 Share Posted May 28, 2009 Did you use a OEM sensor? You did replace the ECU temp sensor right the one with a two pin connector. Try resetting the ECU unplug the negative terminal on your battery for a good hour and try again see what codes come back. A purge solenoid could cause some running issues so I could definitely see startup being a possible issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sister7 Posted June 8, 2009 Author Share Posted June 8, 2009 Problem solved... just wanted to follow up the thread. I put a new PCS on, and the car still had the same not-starting behavior. I did the ECU reset procedure and voila! she runs like new. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
