COULD HAVE BAD FUEL WRONG TYPE FUEL COULD NEED NEW AIR FILTER. DIESEL ENGINE NEEDS AIR TO OPERATE.IF AIR FILTER RESTRICTED.DIESEL ENGINE WONT RUN AND CLOGGED FUEL FILTER CAUSE STARTING PROBLEMS PROBLEMS WITH TURBOCHARGER OR TURBOCHARGER ACTUATOR WOULD CAUSE ENGINE RUN VERY SLOW NO POWER ON TAKE OFF.I SAY PROBLEM IN FUEL SYSTEM OR AIR INTAKE SYSTEM.IF YOU HAD ANY OTHER PROBLEMS THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WILL FLASH ON.
There is a connector but it is not like the connector used in the newer 1996 OBD2 cars, your year uses OBD1, here is how you check for codes in this car.
Acura OBD1 Codes Retrieval
Acura vehicles 1986-95 obd1 code retrieval
There are a few different ways to retrieve the codes for "check engine light" for Acura vehicles. One method is to use a led light (sometimes 2 led lights) on the computer or controller box itself. If it has 2 led lights, the color is red and amber. The red is used for flashing the codes whereas the amber is used for adjustment. If you have only a single led light indicator, then that is used for flashing the code.
The controller box can be found by lifting the carpet of the passenger side front foot well or floorboard. You can see the led lights without removing the controller. On other models, you can find the controller under the driver or passenger front seat.
The second way to get the code is using a jumper wire on the diagnostic connector located on the kick panel at the front passenger side. You then watch the codes being flashed at the dash panel after you turn the key on. To read the code being flashed is easy. Example: Code 23 is 2 long flashes followed by 3 short flashes. A longer pause separates the next code that follows.
Here are Acura vehicles 1986-95 general codes:
Code 0 Electronic control unit (ecu) Code 1 02 (oxygen) sensor Code 3 and 5 map sensor Code 4 Crank angle sensor Code 6 Coolant temperature sensor Code 7 Throttle angle sensor Code 8 Crank angle sensor (TDC) Code 9 Crank angle sensor (CLY) Code 10 Intake air temperature sensor Code 12 EGR system fault Code 13 Atmospheric pressure sensor Code 14 Electronic air control valve Code 15 Ignition output signal Code 16 Fuel injector fault Code 17 Vehicle speed sensor Code 21 Spool solenoid valve Code 22 Valve timing oil pressure switch fault Code 23 Knock sensor Code 41 Oxygen sensor heater fault Code 43 Fuel supply system
i have a hyundai elantra, 01, diesel. it was running grand, i knoch it off for an hour, came back, try to start the car, but no way would it start. what is wrong with it
Lack in fuel pressure picked up by fuel rail pressure sensor hence flashing glow plug light, there is more than one pump on this vehicle so a fuel pressure test is required to pin point, it could even be the FRPS itself. Quite a popular fault on common rail diesels.
p1677 code on ssangyong stavic 2.7l turbo diesel. Engine light comes on and vehicle loses all power and coasts to a halt. Also has 3 open circuit glow plug codes.
the alarm control unit is fitted under the drivers seat can be accessed from the rear foot well by putting seat fully forward .unscrew the two nuts holding the cover the relays are inside the unit.
this unit interfaces will tell the fuel stop solenoid to release (by applying 12 volts)
the fuel stop solinoid is on the main diesel pump under the bonnet - the exac location on the pump will depend on the make - but it should be cylindrical and have one wire connected to it - (i dont think peugeot were using multi wired coded soleniods in 93)
obivously if your car has the keypad immobilser you will know where this is - if it is the remote alarm immobilser the reciever is in the over head consol near the interior front light
P2181 is a overheating engine, the engine is probably dieseling because it is badly overheated, dieseling is when the engine keeps running after the key is turned off and makes a knocking type noise, this can be caused by a defective thermostat, low coolant level, blown head gasket and other thing as well. You need to get this looked at before you destroy the engine.
