Pulling Codes, almost there, can someone translate?

[triggerx]

So heres the deal. Ive searched on the forums and ended up finding a way to check the code with a buzzer.

(ID be more than happy to write up a detailed how to if theres not one present.) So Ive got everything connected, i just dont know how to read the code its putting out, and where does the code start.


But here it is

S= Short
L=Long

S, L, L, L, L

So it keeps repeating this samething, but Im not even sure if I started it off at the right point ### it could be

L,L,L,L,S.

Anyone know what code im getting?

Im thinking its 41

I think this explains it best. Have a look to see if this can help you out.

ok so the problem is the fuel injectors. Are the injectors in these cars suppose to be able to rotate?, ### they seem kindda lose

 

[GRAVEDIGGER]

Not really, but yes. I know that doesn't make much sense so let me explain. The seals are probably old and dried out/shrunken making it very easy to rotate them. With a new set of seals the injectors will be held in the rail and the intake manifold much tighter and would be harder to rotate, although they still will if forced. Yours are just easier to rotate because of the old seals.

can the seals be replaced without replacing the injectors?

can the seals be replaced without replacing the injectors?

yes. You buy new seals and replace the worn ones that are currently on your injectors. Then just re-install the injectors.

 

[GRAVEDIGGER]

Yes, but you will have to remove the rail and injectors. It's very easy though.

 

[docb002000]

Yes very easy napa has the kit for $7 for each injector

So is it possible that the lack of or aging of seals is causing the car to throw a cel code 41?

 

[EclipseTical]

anything is possible. Leaky injector seals will give you boost leak issues so you should definitely get those fixed up, especially since they are cheap to do and fairly easy.

As far as your code 41: that means something is hinky with the Injector Coil Resistance-- Use a volt meter to measure the coil resistance of each injector and verify if within spec or not. S/b within 2-3 ohms iirc but check a chiltons/FSM/search here to verify the spec you need.

You'll also want to check the wiring for obvious nicks/wear/damage and make sure the connectors are nice and snug on the injectors.

Key point here, a 41 fault code won't have anything to do with the seals. It's electrical.

When your listening to the codes you'll note there is a different pause space between the codes vs between the digits. The longer pause marks the space between codes even when it's just repeating the same code.
