Re: oil leaky, but Fiero wonky

My SES light comes on, but no codes are set.  When I turn the ignition off and back on again, no SES.

Any idea how to read the code(s)?

In lieu of not being close enough to borrow my scanner, buy one of Oliver Scholtz's. It should be able to detect the problem.

Oliver and I have been discussing that, but hit a small snag.  I have to wait for a few kinks to be worked out.

The troublesome SES code has eluded me, yet again.  I think the code is not storing.  I tried 7 different readers, today.  Each of them gave me all sorts of info....but not any codes.

I think the AFR is wrong, but I'm not sure what it should be.

Also, what should the resting TPS value be?

Watching my oil pressure gauge today, the needle moved like the second hand on most clocks.  That doesn't seem right.

Got the codes pulled today.  EGR and idle speed.  Joy.

While looking at my door, today, I saw this:


Aaaaah!

What do you do to fix this?

That rubber piece is removable in order to replace dew wipes, etc.  But it appears there is something amiss with your dew wipe.  Not sure why there is that open space.  I'm tethered to a monitor at the moment and can't check my door to compare.

I have not replaced my dew wipes.  They are still pliable, mostly straight, and have no cracks.

I just checked and there's nothing unusual in your picture.  Same as mine.

Whew!

My issue is that the upper left side is all cracked and ratty-looking.

That's probably caused by weathering of the rubber and the edges break away.

I'm going to try making a new one.  In theory, I can make a wax mold, and start from there.  Or, I coild make a plaster mold, and coat it in veggie oil.  Dunno.  Never tried.
