July 28, 200520 yr my check engine light is on(92 legacy), i got a HAYNES repair manual for the legacys (1990-98). according to the trouble codes its: Code 11 (1 long flash, 1 short flash)- crank angle sensor/circuit- "(problem)no reference pulse" Code 24 (2 long flash, 4 short flash)- Air control valve- "(problem) open or shorted air controle valve circuit" of course therse a note like "see section 5" or" se chapter 4" but thers not a word about those two problems. I dont wanna go to dealership, that costs money,... i'm couting on youre help take care
July 28, 200520 yr The crank angle sensor is inside the distributor. The pickup loop may be bad. The air control valve connection is in front of the throttle body. Check for a bad connection or open coil. Edit: Disregard the above info. Wrong model car.
July 28, 200520 yr Cougar? Surely the crank angle sensor is right there at the front and middle of the engine, easy to unplug, unbolt and replace??
July 28, 200520 yr Do you have an illuminated CEL all the time, or did you just check the codes, and find those. If you don't have a steady CEL, reset the ECU, pull fuse 14 for 30 min. Drive the car around, then recheck the codes with the black connectors.

July 28, 200520 yr OPPS! Thanks Setright! What was I thinking! I'm sure I had a Loyale in mind when I said those things in my previous post. I need some more coffee.

July 31, 200520 yr Are the black or green diagnostic connectors connected? If they are, disconnect them.
