I have a 93 4x4 with a 22re and manual tranny. The previous owner rebuilt the engine recently (<5000k). The check engine light was burned out when I bought it. I fixed that, discovered a code 21 (oxygen sensor) and 25 (lean condition). I discovered the wires to the sensor were a little mangled, so I cut a harness from a junkyard and spliced it in, soldered the joints to make sure they were good. Replaced the oxygen sensor with a bosch unit. The code 25 went away but the code 21 is still there! What should I do next?

the truck also idles high, (1100-1200 rpm when warm) even though the throttle stop is set as low as it can go and the air screw is screwed almost all the way in. I have checked for vacuum leaks, it has all new vacuum hoses.

thanks

I've been trying to follow the FSM for troubleshooting this problem, and measuring across terminals E1-Vf1 gives me no voltage no matter what. The FSM says to replace the ECM if the oxygen sensor has been replaced and still shows no voltage. Is there a way to test the ECM, or does anyone have advice for other problems to look for?

Hi thaddeus,

Thank you for the donation.

I have here the schematic of the diagram for an understanding of situation.

Yes, that's the same page from the FSM that I was looking at. So. Am I correct? If performing this test reads zero voltage, the ECM is at fault?

Hi,

You are getting zero voltage from all test carried out?

If it is recommended to substitute the ECM when the test results are negative, then possiblilty the ECM is faulty.

I have a substitute ecm to try, but I'm wondering what the possibility is of damaging another ecm if there is some other problem that caused it.

I did do the voltage test, all zero.

If all the testing shows no shorting of sensors or wiring circuits, then there should be no possibility of damaging the ECM.

Yep, it was the ECM. I'm guessing that damage to the wires caused a short and burned out the circuit in the ECM. Used one fixed the problem.
