So this has been going on for months. Ill have the check engine like come on for a few seconds then it will turn off. I think the first time I noticed this was about a 9 months ago it popped on once while driving at night. I was unable to check it out because the alternator went out a while after it and I had it in my garage for like 4 months before I got it fixed.
Anyway back to the topic, I got my galant up and running back in February and it was running fine for a while until I got the check engine light. Like I said before it pops up at random I can get it popping up a few times during one day, then it can be 2 weeks or 2 days before it pops up again.
When it does pop up, it can go on for a few seconds and then turn off and then pop back on for a few seconds again and then disappear. It pretty much is very incosistent when it pops up lol but it never goes on and stays on. It pops on as I start the engine but I forget if thats normal or not lol.
Ive got two pda's to use as dataloggers but the palm llc that I have is dead and I dont have the charger or data cable for it. The other palm that I have is a palmvx that I have been unable to actual get to connect to my laptop to get mmcd on it. So if anyway has had the issue also and my give me some pointers it would be much appreciated as ive checked online, tons of threads and to no avail.
Also, I tried pulling the check engine codes using a multimeter, im not sure if I did it right but here's what I got. So I either got that it is the knock sensor or the fuel injector sensor (I got that checking the pulses and comparing to the list from dsmtuners 1g code reader thread).
The only thing I notice different about my galant is that it idles a little funny on startup. it'll go up and down from 2000 rpm to 3000 rpm for a minute then chill at 2000rpm.
