My 1995 avenger is giving me a code 43, I have already replaced the plugs an wires and it drives better but the code is still there. Have not tried resetting the computer yet. If that dosen't fix it what do I check next.

 

Clear the codes and see if it comes back, You can't tell if you fix the problem until the codes are cleared.

 

I checked them again and im getting an 11 and a 12 not just a 12 so im leaning to the infamous cps.

 

Here's the thing...
12 means that you recently removed the battery..well, withing the last 50 cycles of ignition.
11 means that you are not receiving crank signals (P0335), timing skipped a tooth or more (P1390), intermittent loss of the crank or cam sensor (P1391), or you've reached a misfire "limit" (whatever that means (P1398).
I recommend that you get the tool code (P code) scanned for at Autozone to pinpoint the code.
You may be on to something with the CPS though, but check to make sure anyway and you can get the Crank sensor while you're there

 

Does the 95s have OBD II or I because auto zone can only scan ODB II. Also where is the CPS located I've looked all over the motor and the only place I can figure it is is under the intake manifold. Also I saw that the avenger wasn't offered for sale till Apr 95 but mine was built in JAN 95. I reset the codes and drove the car today after about 10 min it flashed the CEL and went dead. It started back but would only go to 1000 rpm with it on the floor. I limped it back home and checked the codes again and 12, 11, and 43 are what Im getting.

 

Yes and no being an OBD2, You do need the OBD2 cable but you also need a cable forthe 16 pin connector that goes next to the OBD2 connector. Did you have the code before you replace the spak plugs or was after, if were after you did something to cause it. If you had before you could have a bad sensor or a flex plate that is breaking.

 

Code was before the sparkplug nad wire change. Whats the deal with the flexplate?

 

Dodge is having a small amount problems with flex plate breaking causing a code, like a timing belt has jump one tooth. The only way to ck it is to remove the transmission. and take it the back of crankshaft.

 

The cps fixed the problem. Thiscar is nice. Took it all the way to 110 today.

 

Look under the dash on the driver's side. It's located on the corner of the center kick panel and knee panel (?).
If you're looks like mine in the pic, you have an OBDII port. My ECU is taken from an early 95 Eclipse GSX. That means the build date is pre 95. I have an OBDII ECU. 96+ cars are supposed to be OBDII compliant cars but that doesn't mean that 95's aren't.

If you have a port different that this, you have an OBDI port. I'll go on a limb and say that 95-00 Avenger/Sebring, 95-99 Eclipse, and 95-98 Talons are OBDII compliant.

Glad you got it fixed Dart [sm=smiley20.gif]
