Quote:Just finished reading about the limpmode... But I did not understand what to do to get out from the limpmode:/ The symptoms of my car is very similar and its very good chance that my car have the limpmode - what to do now ? ...To find the bad sensor - to fix it - and then the ECU will get out from that mode?Did you insert the diagnostic jumper, and get code 12's" if not many DLC errors , cause ECU to go to limphome mode.
its just a paper clip.
here it is again. click this, and see this simple test... find the DLC connector on your car, under hood.

code 12, key on,
code 12 , running
code 12 driving..
if not Limphome can be ACTIVE and IN FORCE.
also , make sure the 02 sensor is fresh, not 20 years old. but more newer. say less that 5 years old.
if not the 02 bad can make fueling rates, go way rich, and run bad, misfire and turn spark tips black. etc.... all bad....
The DLC, diag link connector .
can be in 4 places, on cars world wide, (here our 97 is in place3) changed each generation for fun, and games. (sarc)
place 1 , fuse box jumper fuse = DIAG mode.
Place 2, older, just in front of main battery,
place 3, just to rear of right head light shell. (drivers right)
place 4, right next to the left strut tower. drivers left.

Quote:The coolant hoses (nipples?) are so clogged that NO AIR AT ALL passes when I blew into it as hard as I can.
I tried to pull of the coolant nipples - they doesn't move at all... (those rust, and breaking those nipple screws will be bad news as will seals inside)
Yesterday I put it in vinegar for about 20 hours and tried to clean it with any wire/stick that I found at my house...
There was a tiny progress - a very tiny amount of air started to pass thru...
So today I build this electrolysis thing and now the ISC sits inside it (looks like having fun) - hope it will help... Will update later... GOOD !
