[613lx]

should the check engine light and battery and oil light come on with the key in the on position but not fired up.? it did on my old cb7... but it was fucked so i unno.

[cooneyb81]

i believe it should do it

My 92' LX sedan did that and my 91' EX coupe does that.... so i'm assuming that it's a yes.

ok so does anyone know the procedures to check ECU activity/ connections... or it even working... ? ? ? ? car wont start and its pissin me off... car only starts when i pour gas into the intake mani.

Normal

Yup..that's what it should do, then they should turn off once the engine's started

Most of the lights should come on when your key is in the 2 (on) position. In the 1 position only the radio turns on. then 3 is start. On your passenger side there is a two pin connector jump it then turn your key to the on position or 2 then count the flashes.

thx now i am trying to find out why my computer isnt going on.. there is 12 volts at both fuses and the fuses are good... im confused as to what is the problem.. the thermostat housing ground is intact... which ECU pins get grounded at the thermo housing.. maybe i got a cut wire somewhere if i can find out i can trace those grounds and run some new ones to the thermo if they are cut.. also what are the power sources for the ECU.. or is it multiple sources ... i dont get any info on this in my haynes book. also there is power going out FROM the ECU to the injectors so im realllllly fking confused... i double and tripple checked all my fuse box wiring and all the wiring to the ECU from the sensors etc.

thx

u lost me...im trying to figure out why ur directly looking at the ecu...have ya done the basic stuff?? checked for spark..checked for fuel...checked for fuel IN the tank..im not trying to be an asshole...its just that i have seen people kick themselves in the ass in the end cuz they forgot or were just plainly too damn stubborn to check the simple stuff.......

yes i checked for all that. replaced the distrubutor, jump started the fuel pump because it was seized up and replaced the old fuel injectors. injectors have voltage and correct resistance, relay is activating the fuel pump. still no check engine light on the dash. problem must be in the wiring. car starts when i pour gas into the intake.
thx

well when you make the first trun with the key and the first click............. those light come on then go off when you turn on the car...............so thats a yes and if the lights stays on after the car is on well!...than you got a problem

if you pour gas into the intake and it runs, that sounds like a fuel problem to me?
