if i'm not mistaken there's a sensor at the top of the transmission for the kouki's that wasn't there for the zenkis. That could be the source of the CEL

i have that same check engine light it the crank position sensor....my 95 is obd2 and my transmission is obd1 its a pointless sensor...u can drop ur transmission and drill a hole to put one in or just deal with the cel...im trying to figure out a way to trick the ecu....ill get back to u when i do

here's an idea. find how much resistance is across that sensor and put a resistor in place of that sensor's harness. See if that can trick your ecu into thinking the sensor's there.

Ive had my 240 goin on 4 years. anyways I can't get it smogged b/c the check engine light is on. I recently took out the bulb and it fails the visual since the light doesn't come on. I need my certificate since it passes with colors.help me out here, my friend said I can route the check engine wire to the oil light so the check engine light comes on when you put the key to ACC and it will go off since its re-routed. tell me what pins to splice b/c I plan on doing this tomorrow. show me some links to the control panel under the steering wheel please. I need this done asap so see what you can do for me pleasecall me if your around and can help, Im in Redwood City or just pm me or call me at 650 281 1129. thanksGarrett
