ECU Self-Diagnosis (Paper Clip)
Trying to check for codes using the paper clip method and I was just wondering if anyone else has had this problem.. Doing this on my other vehicle theres a very noticeable pause in between different codes yet when I'm trying on my 22re it just seems to flash over and over with no definite pause in between codes. I can see it flashes in between each flash somewhat slower than other times but.. seems wrong...

Yeah thats what I was thinking.. Just didn't want to believe it since my truck has been running like absolute crap lately. Really sluggish acceleration in first through third gear. Had a big mpg drop, stumbling at low rpms and now its starting to idle bad..
Thanks for the info

Currently don't have a CEL so I figured I could see if I had any stored codes but I guess I don't. Wouldn't a bad O2 sensor give me any type of code? Not seeing any leaks either.

I have. On my '86 22re, I had a code 5 I tried to trace down for a long time. Turned out the AFM was going south. Otherwise, I've never had an O2 code from anything else. Even from a vacuum leak. If you're O2 was to become disconnected, though, that would certainly cause one.
