need help stuck on the road

[noel]

i was cruiseing to work at around 50mph when the car just shut off on me...i was able to steer into a gas station ...i quickly pulled the codes 14,24 but whats funny when i try and turn the car on i notice the rpm needle doesnt move at all...could it be the cps wiring???

thanks for the help fellas

Timing belt busted? Crank the engine and seenif the cps moves.

 

[noel]

no the timing belt is fine i took of the upper timing cover to see...how do i see if the cps moves take the cover off and crank?

 

[S.A. supra]

Yeah. What are those codes? Ignition sig and afm?

 

[noel]

24 is something to do with the afm...14 has to with igition..but idk why the rpm needle doesnt move...which is why i keep thinking its the cps i wiggled the wires around and nothing...

Do the cps wires look brittle or worn? My brother's car did this in the yard once in the past and the wires on his cps were crap.

Have to remember that. Much easier than removing the oil cap...

 

[jdmfreak]

24is open or short in your intake air temperature sensor (in the afm)
And 14 is ignition signal

let me rephrase that i already had the timing cover off but if i didnt i would just flip the cap lol

yea it did before but i re-did the wiring at the cps no chance of that

i believe, that issues that seem complex always turns out to be user error or something really simple....i fixed the problem!!!...again..something really stupid lol the codes 14,24 are ooooolllllldddd. I never deleted them( i knew if my afm was bad the rpm needle should still move same thing with code 14 the rpm needle should move around i got nothing) ..

The problem was my kill switch. I must have hit the switch by accident(time to relocate it) thus turning the car off and preventing from restarting(the movement in the rpm meter let me to believe that my cps was dead OR my kill switch (hence the user error part) i flipped the switch and BINGO car drives like a beast (something simple)

 

[jdmfreak]

Could your connections be bad where you fixed your the cps wires?

 

[T3rril79]

BWUAHAHAAAAA damn man. I'm glad to here that the car is ok. I am guilty of over-thinking my issues as well so I can relate.

Was going to say that killing power to the igniter will also keep the tach from moving.

thanks again guys for all your quick adn accurate help

Yes, other owners should find it helpful.

Yes,
If my car dies while driving, I will check my killswitch first as well.
But, seeing as won't be installing it on the seat cushion or the headrest, It'll be hard to imagine how I accidentally hit it...






Sorry. Had to.

 

[jetjock]

Or hard to imagine it wouldn't be the first thing you checked if you did...
