It's starting to sound like non California cars may not have what I've been
referring to as a check engine light.
My car was a California car from new.
The best ground on any car is the negative battery post.
The smell is very possibly the new cat, and the droning noise may be having
to do with the
hmm, i see nothing in my cluster about this light or a seperate switch in
the dash. i see motronic has basic codes you can check with jumper and led
with harness under shift boot. i will check my car tomorrow for that and
see what happens.
i tightened the distributor bolts and no go, timing l
Maybe it was a California only thing. But I am positive that there was some
sort of indicator on the dash that would illuminate when you turned on the
ignition, and go out once the engine started. And, at least on my car, it
would light up if the ECU detected a fault. Many times I remember reading
You're correct, there is no vacuum line attached to the ecu. But there is
definitely something that is supposed to be disconnected when setting base
timing. Since your chassis isn't a California car, there is probably a lot
of things that are different. Until the OBD2 spec came into effect in, I

You sure? My friends '92 corrado didn't have one. I've never seen one in a
16v GTi/GLi.
I've never seen one until '93 and even then it had to be a late '93...

unless i am missing something all i see for timing this car is to heat
My '92 had an amber lindicator that was in the shape of an engine. I used to check for codes using the method outlined in the Bentley, so I'm sure it was there. Maybe I'm wrong about it looking like an engine, too much has happened since the last time I worked on my car.

Two knock sensors means 2.0/9A block.
On the timing issue, there is something that needs to be disconnected prior
to using a timing light. I can't remember what exactly it is, but I think
it's a vacuum line somewhere. Again, that information is in the Bentley.
Once the whatever is disconnected, the

There is no check engine light. VW didn't add one until 1993, my corrado slc
had one...

ok so ground showed no continuity to that sensor wire. it does with pin 7
i believe on the ecu connector, so i guess i am good. i kept getting
confused because people were talking about an insulated wire and im
thinking a nasty cable like for tv. when looking these guys over as is,

The Motronic ECU does store codes. Since the OBD1 spec didn't go into
effect until '95, code readers don't work on these cars. Connecting two
leads to the proper positions of the connectors under the shifter boot and
connecting a momentary switch to the other ends of the two leads, by using
the swi
sorry just to make sure we are on the same page. you are saying the 02
sensor black connector is going into the loom to the ecu. and the ground
wire attached to the firewall is loose and surrounding the 02 sensor wire
along the same path? i am paranoid and want to see for myself and am

The picture looks just like what I thought it would, the signal wire is the one
with the connector, the one going to the ground is the shield. I think that
you're good to go.
I would have shown you my loom, but it's very different and I thought it'd make
things more confusing.
Fire it up.
