Hi All,
I have a 98 2.3cl, the engine light came on and I cannot locate the OBD scanner plug on my car. Normally it should be under the dash driver side thats were one would find it. But I didn't see that and poked around but didn't find it.
Can some help me locate the plug where I can connect the OBD scanner and see what codes pop up???
Thankx
Javed

Hi 97BlackAckCL,
It is basically a Muslim name, from Asia (India) a very common name in the Indian continent. Means "Immortal", i guess another word for Immortal. It is funny isn't it.
Any ways thanks for the help guys.

At least pull the code and reset the ecu, if you have a scanner

Hi Guys,
Ok the code that came up was P0171: System too lean (Bank1). Does any one know what this means and how to fix this problem?? The car drives normal and I dont feel any hesitation. Can some one suggest some solution or checks that I should perform.
Thanks

got that same shit.
I had to clean out the EGR port, it was all blocked up with carbon deposits.
i was gonna write up some steps, but you have the 2.3 motor, i have the 3.0 and they have very different designs. But it is the same code that i had, just find your EGR and clean out the inlet holes for it. I used brake cleaner and a pipe cleaner. Codes have been gone ever since. I just wish i could turn off my SRS light now.

O2 sensor, intake manifold leak, exhaust manifold leak are likely causes of problem. O2 sensor seems most likely, but a diagnostic observation of the O2 sensor voltage trace might be in order to understand problem better.

Hi Guys,
I got the engine light on again. When I hooked up the OBD scanner this time it is showing 2 codes P0170(Fuel Trim malfunction..Bank1) and P0171 ( System too Lean...bank1). Some one told me to clean out the EGR valve & Port. I tried but was not able to unbolt the EGR assembly.
Can some one tell me how to unbolt the EGR valve??? is there a specific tool that helps do this task?? or do I have to remove a number of other components before I can get to the EGR valve nuts for me to be able to loosen them.
PLease help
Thankx

There are a number of potential sources of this problem. however EGR is unlikely. Best possibilities are intake manifold leak, exhaust manifold leak, or primary O2 sensor failing. O2 sensor seems most likely.
