| Question: |
1995 Eclipse N/T 2.0 M/T...Hey Anthony been having some problems
with this car..I keep getting code 43, which is a misfire/poor tunning
code. But the code is so vast..has many things it could be, car runs fine...but
engine light still comes on! I have new spark plugs and wires and car
idles very good. I noticed that the code 43 can be H02 sensor also!..any
tips on figuring out what EXACTLY is making this light come on? Can I
go to Auto zone and get a diagnoses...I know I can read my own codes,
but doesnt the OBD reader ..read more specifics and zeros in on the componet
which would be setting off engine light? |
| Answer: | Tony, You are correct. Code 43 is a very general code, and can mean many different things. Being that your car is running fine, the problem could be a malfunctioning sensor or perhaps your H02 sensor. If an O2 sensor goes bad, you may not immediately notice any performance difference, other than poor gas mileage. But it is a good idea to have your OBD-II read from an AutoZone. They
may be able to give you a more specific code and information to help you
pinpoint more precisely where the problem is. And since it's free from
AutoZone, you have nothing to loose. |
