What I think would really help is if you could get a logging scan done. That would show what is going on in real time and not a point in time that the regular scanners show. If a logging scanner is not available to you, all you need is a laptop and a cable...there is software that can be downloaded.
Thats what my wife said the codes will be so much better and easy im trying to use my brothers but it keeps saying the vehicle isnt responding.but ill do my best to retrieve the codes that way we can fix this ill touch base with u guys again i apologize for this mess.

Don't sweat it..it's forgotten.

It might be in your best interest to take it to the dealer and pay the diagnostic fee. Their scanner will definitely work...

Re: idling weird

Well, I didn't expect codes like those. I expected 2-digit codes like those found on Rob's page. I don't believe those numbers don't correlate with anything on a '94...but I'll leave it to those among us that know this better....

Re: idling weird

Yea dude i was hella confused too it looked to be way off but i didn't wanna argue with the guy,and i accepted what he gaveme,and the dealership didn't have a diagnosis tool for a 94. I was expected to look for double digits too for the codes

Re: idling weird

New computer and new wiring harness is just their attempt at throwing parts at it, removing variables rather than finding issues.

I'd for sure take the car elsewhere. I (and the rest of the forum would probably agree) think it's been documented that only VERY VERY RARE situations require new computers be installed. Like - car was under 8' of water type situations.

I don't think it's been mentioned but you can check for vacuum leaks by using brake cleaner and spraying it with the straw point directly at each vacuum connection, so you're sure you're testing just that location. Check all vac locations that way. Spray some around the injectors too, around the TB, IAC valve, back of intake, etc.
