RE: CEL codes, what do they mean?
they even read the hour meter and divide that into the miles and can tell on average how fast you have been going, the computer also logs how many hours below 1200rpm which is considered idleing to DC. if you have an injector go bad and alot of idle hours they will point the finger at you for the bill.

Not sure why this bothers me so much, but I just have to vent....
The proper term is MIL.
Malfunction Indicator Lamp.
I know everybody in the world calls it a Check Engine Light.
But I just had to vent.

You remind me of this guy I used to know. He used to go OFF whenever someone would ask what size motor he had in his car. He'd FREAK because a motor is an electrical term and he has an ENGINE under his hood and blah blah blah .....
I believe he eventually comitted suicide ....

RE: CEL codes, what do they mean?
that’s super nice, thanks for the link, I got a p 0341 and p 0340 error code when doing 3 cycles on the ignition.
Camshaft Position Sensor Circuit Malfunction
and
Camshaft Position Sensor Circuit Range/Performance
all due to a very small amount of grease/dirt on the pulley/timing-taps, very easy to fix and its all running fine now
the engine sometimes stopped running for just 1/10 of a second around 2300 rpm's but i gave a hek of a jolt in the car when it did. Also the idle got a little fluctuating.
Thank you very much.
But how do you get the MIL light to stop glowing besides taking the bulb out of course. I have tried on/off 5 times, and actually more

RE: CEL codes, what do they mean?
if it is an 03 or better the cam sensor will be located just above the crank sensor. it will be kinda hard to see but it is stuffed right next to the ECM. the Cam and Crank sensors are the same, the wireing harness to the and the connectors are the same.

RE: CEL codes, what do they mean?
it is a 2005, so i wil try to find it tomorow, maby a mirror wil help a bit.
but the engine only goes in "failsafe" mode for like ½ a second under heavy acceleration or acceleration after just driving the same speed for long time.
i do suspect a wire failure, with these symptoms
update will folow.
here in denmark we now have a snowstorm, heavy snow and strong wind.
somthing to play in with 315/70-r17 all teraion BFG

RE: CEL codes, what do they mean?
just as an update, it was the camshaft sensor that was bad, the dealer here in Denmark said that it was the same as a other car that they knew was prone to fail from time to time. change took 2 hours, and i had to remove the computer from the side of the block to be able to get to the sensor.
but it worked.
