Could this be my problem?

[black95maro]

I scanned my car the other day and got a history code # 82 which is 82 Ignition control 3X signal error - possible faulty ignition module, crank sensor, camshaft sensor or circuit. could one of these be causing my running rich because i only averaged about 14 MPG tonight and i really need to get it close to normal any help is appreciated big time... thanks....

Re: Could this be my problem?

..yes
I would take that Ignition Control Module into Autozone and get them to test it
Missfire = fuel not getting burned = rich

It could also be the crank sensor too cant it? also is there anything i need to know when taking off the ig. module so i dont shock myself lol

I took the ICM into autozone and had it tested which came out good he even did it a couple times to get it warm like it would be in the car, so if its not that I'm thinking it has to be the crank sensor causing my problem anyone have any ideas

Re: Could this be my problem?

anytime you disconnect the crank sensor you need to do a crank relean procedure
I wonder what your timing looks like

yea i dont have a way to check either......which is the sensor that coudl cause it to run rich again crank sensor or cam sensor? or either?

would i get any signs if i need this done because maybe from whem my motor was swapped it was never done. wouldnt i need one if it was swapped?

Re: Could this be my problem?

no not if it was swapped
if they disconnected the crank sensor you're gonna need a case relearn
using a Tech 2 scanner or HP Tuners or DHP, etc...

crank sensor does timing below 3000 rpms
cam sensor does timing above 3000 rpms

oxygen sensors are one of the main components that adjust fueling and they are recommended to be changed every 60K+ (or more) miles

Re: Could this be my problem?

I cant use any of those scanner's because its a 95 (OBDI) so if im running richer in the high rpm's then its my cam sensor because the higher rpms is when i can really see the smoke behind the car.... but it does run slightly rich at idle as well...???? could bad coil pack give the ignition code or anything everything else has been replaced or checked except teh cam and crank sensors...


M O2 sensors are about 800 miles old so it's not those...i dont think lol

also do i absolutly need to do the relearn because i dont have a SES light for it....
