How long has the car been running since you put the stepper in? Can take a couple of hours driving to recalibrate itself, especially after an ECU reset.

ok, well been driving whole day today, just the same like before i even changed the stepper, im running out of ideas, i even went to an autotech guy, he cant even find the diagnoise plug, (an yes i look undernearth too, and it wasnt there, but the bracket for it is there, so cant even diagnoise my car OMG help.

Well i might try and do it with my friend, he said to take out the throttle body and recondition it.

Does anyone has any other solution?

So your engine check light is on but you have not tried pulling the code??? Isn't it common sense to see what the fault code is first? Guides to do this on this forum, just do a search.

yes its common sense, i went to a mechanic, that does diagnoise for cars too, he cant find the plug that where its suppose to be, so i cant check the error code, i looked at the guide, and THAT plug isnt there.

I've never found an FTO that the plug isn't there. You're not looking hard enough. Remove the panel under the steering column & look again...

i shall do that, the stupid auto electrician cant find it too, -_-, an he said some cars "dont" have it, thats true?

Take your car to a mechanic not an auto elec!

You have had the fault light on from the start, I don't understand why you are going through all this crap with manual diagnosis when the simply solution is to pull the fault code.

If you can find your diagnosis plug, just take your car to the mechanic and tell them to do it for you.

Ok, i really cant find the plug -_-, it is not there, can someone tell me where does the plug start from? so i can try trace it, cause car does not even start now, it clicks in, but doesnt turn on so not battery for sure. -_- SIGHHH

ok guys, finially got it diagnosis, it says its the cam sensor, changed the sensor to a new one, but same thing still happening, and no other error code came out, what is this?

have you check battery terminals and starter motor

well as i said i diagnosis the car an changed the cam sensor but engine light still turns on -_-

So you stripped the whole timing assembly off, removed the front cam gear & swapped out the cam angle sensor???

i saw them, they just open the front left cover, an took out the cam sensor, put the new one in, plug it, reset the ecu, an same thing happen

Check the wiring to the sensor???

So where was the plug???????

well they plugged it in an out twice to double check, an still same problem even after ecu reset, and the diagnosis plug was hiding like above where it suppose to be, like u cant see it, they guy put his hand up and found it lol

Why dont you now earth pin one to double check the code is in fact for the cam sensor? Only takes 10 seconds.

it still blinks out code 23 -_- fuk sakes, another mechanic said it might be my alarm? might be connected to the fuel pump an randomly cuts out, but i told him once its fully warmed up it doesnt happen, then his like maybe its something to do with wires, so find an autoelec

I beg to differ Mr. Gilmore accomplished that feat no more than an hour ago!

Yeah, really SilverGPX??? It ran fine did it?
