Um, none? Is it supposed to? Doesn't say anything about that in the FSM and I've successfully resolved a few other codes it had. Oh, and the specification code is 5 on this car

Definitely have a CEL, definitely 5 long followed by 5 short flashes. My other Loyale has 5 flashes with no CEL indicating no problems. As mentioned, the car does have some other issues so maybe once they're resolved this problem will sort itself out.

Ignition system has pretty much been entirely replaced. Coil, dizzy, cap, rotor, wires, plugs. I just discovered there's a drop in exhaust temperature after the 2nd cat. Temp rises after the 1st one. Not sure if this is normal on these cars or not, but I'm going to investigate this further.

Definitely SPFI. Perhaps this code is a result of another problem? (which I have a few of)

Casull, what have you tried fixing/testing/repairing? After maintaining/repairing all my own vehicles for the last 20 years, I've never been so stumped on a problem. I'm just about to admit defeat and take her to a shop.

I'd love to know how this turned out.

My bad, its supposed to be 36-50 psi at the pump.

So I'm only getting 20-25 psi at the injector. Pretty sure it should be 36-50. Fuel pump, filter and pressure regulator have been replaced. Has anyone experienced this?

Looks like I spoke too soon. The code came back after an extended drive

Yep, that seemed to do the trick Thanks again!

Interesting, according to the previous owner there was an engine swap done at some point. Hopefully I'll get to this today and report back. Thanks!

ihscout54, the wire harness on my car is the same as what you posted above. There's no power on this #33 wire. Is cutting it going to do anything? Maybe I don't quite understand this system.

Does anyone think it could be a bad injector? When I bought the car the timing was all messed up.....while attempting to start it, the engine backfired out the intake several times. Almost blew a hole through the air filter. EGR and purge solenoids have been replaced.

The only things in the fuel system I haven't inspected, repaired, or replaced, are the fuel injector and pressure regulator.

UPDATE: Tested the TPS. It seems good, but slightly out of adjustment. I feel like this would affect the idle more than anything. Cleaned the TB and went for a short test drive....no improvement.

Did you remove the TB or just spray/brush while on the engine?

After being parked for 2 years my 94 Loyale has a 'jerky' and sluggish acceleration. Worse at lower rpm's and some days are worse than others. Also, a few days ago the engine quit without warning twice while driving uphill. Started back up a minute later. Not sure if this is a related problem. Either way, I'm suspicious of the fuel system and specifically the fuel pump, but I don't want to start throwing parts at it if it can be avoided. I've considered a plugged Cat, but the exhaust smells normal and seems to have good flow out the tailpipe. No relevant codes from the ECU present. I've run a tank of fresh fuel with a can of Seafoam through it and done a full tune-up including all filters and ignition components. Has anyone had a similar experience? Any suggestions on where to begin troubleshooting? Update: Its not the fuel pump

Ok I definitely don't have this sensor. ihscout54, that would be fantastic if you can help me out! No inspection required, I just want that darn CEL off.

Does anyone have a California model Loyale? I'm not sure where my car is from (usa somewhere), but I'm getting a code 55 and cant seem to locate this 'EGR gas temp sensor'. My coolant temp sensor tests ok, and I've replaced my EGR and purge solenoids.

I did that & the distributor connector......problem solved.

Started my Loyale this morning and the tach isn't working. Cant find anything in my Chilton manual about it. Anyone have experience with this?

Success! Previous owner had R cam 180 deg. off. Good call rdweninger & DaveT! Thanks everyone!

So I'm looking at the timing belts. When the crank (#1) piston is at TDC, the dots on both cam sprockets are up. I feel like 1 should be up and 1 should be down?

Anyone think it could be bad gas? Car has sat for 1.5 years with a 1/2 tank.

My disty is setup like this 3 1 2 4 I had the #1 piston @ TDC and placed the rotor in a 1:30 o'clock position pointing towards the master cylinder.
