got code 14 - Idle Air Control valve circuit/ ECU (Open or shorted out ignition signal circuit/ No signal to ECU)


anyone explain? lol so bad circuit or fuse?!

edit: got a brand new 90-91 distributor w/ lifetime warrenty if anyone wants it. for some reason its not making my car start. threw on my old one and it started right up

CODE 14 – Idle Air Control Valve (IACV).

Idle Air Control Valve – monitors and changes the amount of air to be bypassed into the intake manifold. It is activated by the vehicles ECU by determining the engine load.

What to do: IACV is located on the intake manifold close the fuel rail. Disconnect the electrical connector on the IACV and acquire an ohmmeter and measure the resistance. Reading should be in between 8 and 15 ohms. While doing this check for continuity , if there is continuity present , replace the IACV immediately.

Another way to solve CODE 14 is to remove the IACV , grab a brake cleaner and clean the IACV. Install the IACV and reset the ECU. If it does not bring any great success , replace the faulty IACV. Reset the ECU once again.

thats better than dany0's except hes around cnc machines and shit which makes me sad because he cant operate one yet

but eric, did you test the resistance on the IACV as well? it probably finally took a shit on you because i was having a driveability problem with the IACV when i did my h23 head swap.

dont have a voltmeter lol need to get one.

[wed3k]

dont have a voltmeter lol need to get one.

dude...
-timing gun (u have one already)
-vacuum guage
-spark plug socket
-multimeter

those are the essentials to diagnosing a motor. if your distributor dont work, get that shit exchanged.
