Cel

[crussell2009]

CEL on and it flashes when I get past about 5500 rpms and then will stay flashing for awhile.

does it skip?

 

[spyk3]

and if its flashes i believe that means its bad enough to do damage....

 

[crussell2009]

what do you mean it skips?

 

[crussell2009]

someone told me here that they thought it might be the cat if it flashes

I heard if its flashing, "DO NOT" drive the car at all untill you fix the problem.

Is your car OBD1 or OBD2?

 

[crussell2009]

Obd2

Oops my bad. 98 gsr. Jump the blue connector on the passenger dash. Its a blue connector with 2 wire. Get a paper clip and put each end into the connector

cat wont flash the cel, usually a skipping motor will.

 

[spyk3]

and i dont think you can do that to an obd2 but then again, i dont know i just use scanners

asumming that its a GSR, sound like a code 22 VTEC Pressure Switch (VTPS sensor). Check the switch it is common for these to go bad on the OBD2 setups. also trace the wire (Oange with a white stripe I think? but trace it back to the ECU and look to see if something if its ok.

Went by autozone and had them read it, says first code that came up was a bad O2 sensor, then said I had a missfire in every cylinder but it doesnt feel like i do at all, and i'm pretty sure I would notice a missfire in all cylinders. So i'm thinking thats screwin everything up. Could that one O2 sensor be throwing everything off?

So if its a misfire on every cylinder and the o2 than you have 5 bad codes. But, fuck what he said, what PO codes did he give you.

sorry i know that this is way off topic but j13 u got one freaky deeky looking kid for ur avatar lol

I can't remember the exact codes thats just what the scanner was saying. And just figured the O2 sensor was making the engine think I have a misfire in every cyl.
