Craven Posted April 3, 2005 Share Posted April 3, 2005 The Hayens book I've got dosen't show a code 14 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roobaflu Posted April 3, 2005 Author Share Posted April 3, 2005 maybe I'm reading it wrong... one long flash, then 4 short flashes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craven Posted April 3, 2005 Share Posted April 3, 2005 As long as you have the test plugs unplugged and reading the O2 light on the ecm. That would be code 14. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ross Posted April 3, 2005 Share Posted April 3, 2005 Thats 14..... but my manual doesn't give a code 14 either. Is it giving another? THere should be a model designation code, if 14 is the only one thats flashing thats probably what it is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

85Sub4WD Posted April 3, 2005 Share Posted April 3, 2005 ignition pulse system would be related to the crank angle sensor on a SPFI/later model car - it has nothing to do with yours - even for the 1985 FI cars, it meant MAF sensor problem I looked your problem up in my 1985 FSM (factory service manual) - is your trouble code comming from the ECU or the dash ECS light? - it should be comming from the ECU O2 monitor light on the front - if it flashes the ECS light, it means your test connectors were not disconnected - if it is the O2 sensor light, then you probably have a bad ECU - there is a vehicle designation code 12 (auto 2WD 49-state) and code 15 (4-speed 2WD 49-state), but no code 14 the ECU is not critical to the operation of your car as it is a carbed car - I know some board members have unplugged theirs and prefer to run without one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roobaflu Posted April 3, 2005 Author Share Posted April 3, 2005 its coming from the light on the ecu itself I was running without the ecu but without the ecu I can't get the idle below 1800 rpm :\ ignition pulse system would be related to the crank angle sensor on a SPFI/later model car - it has nothing to do with yours - even for the 1985 FI cars, it meant MAF sensor problem I looked your problem up in my 1985 FSM (factory service manual) - is your trouble code comming from the ECU or the dash ECS light? - it should be comming from the ECU O2 monitor light on the front - if it flashes the ECS light, it means your test connectors were not disconnected - if it is the O2 sensor light, then you probably have a bad ECU - there is a vehicle designation code 12 (auto 2WD 49-state) and code 15 (4-speed 2WD 49-state), but no code 14 the ECU is not critical to the operation of your car as it is a carbed car - I know some board members have unplugged theirs and prefer to run without one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
85Sub4WD Posted April 3, 2005 Share Posted April 3, 2005 argh - not good - me thinks ignore it if it is not causing any other problems, and find another ECU or a weber/spfi conversion if it is Good Luck!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cougar Posted April 3, 2005 Share Posted April 3, 2005 Here is a link to a site that shows the codes for various models. It looks like for your model and year, code 14 is the 'duty solenoid or circuit'. http://www.troublecodes.net/Subaru/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roobaflu Posted April 3, 2005 Author Share Posted April 3, 2005 and what is a duty solenoid??? Here is a link to a site that shows the codes for various models.

Cougar Posted April 3, 2005 Share Posted April 3, 2005 I think the duty solenoid is the one used for the fuel charcoal canister recycling system, I may be wrong though. Here is a link to a site that explains it doing a different function. http://autorepair.about.com/library/glossary/bldef-122a.htm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
