Hey Anthony, |
| Answer: | Tony, Code 55 is the "all clear" code, and 25 is "Target idle not reached (k200 r/min)" - Harness and connector / Idle air control motor / Vaccuum leak. I got that information from a very informative web site: http://www.2gnt.com The tricky thing about the '95 Eclipse engine was that it was a transition year Eclipse; it contained both 1G and 2G (model years 89-94 & 95-99) engine set ups. So, the position of the hoses where you see them may be different from where I know of. The three hoses I believe you are referring to are the Purge control solenoid valve, Fuel pressure control valve (only for Turbo engines), and EGR control solenoid valve (you typically only see this on a California emmissions engine). Since you have a non-turbo car, that middle hose may be the Fuel pressure control valve hose. I'm not exactly sure what you mean by "idle purging". There
is a syndrome called "idle surging", which refers to your engine
bouncing up and down after your engine is warmed up. That usually is caused
by a bad IAC motor, but you mentioned you replaced that so that shouldn't
be your problem. But if you believe you do have a vacuum leak somewhere,
you might want to consider just replacing all 3 of those hoses. Most auto
parts stores sell vacuum hoses; just go in and ask for the diameter and
length you want. You can bring in a hose to show them the size. Hoses
are cheap and relatively easy to replace, so go with the cheaper fixes
and see if it helps. |
