Did you clean the ports with carb cleaner? You may also have additional codes coming up.

Hello, J. Waldvogel! Could you recommend a better one for an average shade tree mechanic like me? I also need it to read the older OBD-I connector vehicles too. I have an old 1994 Chevy diesel truck that is showing a "Service Engine Soon" light. I would like to be able to connect to it and fix the problem. Thanks in advance! Lee

I bought this product, but my mechanic installed it on the first (pre-catalytic) / to the engine side. :(So it didn't work, anyhow before trying this I recommend cleaning the sensors with WD-40 With the battery Un-plugged , and after 10 minutes hanging to dry re-screw them back in

My buddy bought a car for his daughter and the previous owner was a heavy smoker. We sat the ozone generator on the floor and ran it for two hours and let the car sit with the windows closed overnight. We did it again the next day and there is no smoke smell, even when it's very hot out. It did a great job!

be sure the cig lighter works with key off. must be in direct light. did you ever start car with it still plugged?

This engine worked great when I installed it, but when I tried to use it after sitting for a few months, it'd start and run for 5 or so seconds and kill. Gas has aStabilizer in it but I haven't been able to figure out the problem as of yet.

I wish I had an answer for you. All I can tell you is that their cat converters are not good. It did nothing but set off my check engine light. The only cure was to replace it with a GM original equipment converter to eliminate the problem. I forced Magnaflow to pay for it including labor at a local repair shop.

1. Make sure you are getting spark. If not correct problem. (I found a large mud-dabbers nest under my re-coil cover.) 2. If you are getting spark, you might have bad fuel. If your using older fuel with ethanol, it might have water in it. I started to use marine fuel in all my yard equipment, generators, etc. to avoid this problem. It is more expensive, but the results are worth it. I hope this is helpful.

Not sure ours bit the dust a month after installing it. Might try disconnecting power for ten seconds or so! If you don't have the manual hear is a link to it. http://www.pioneerelectronics.com/StaticFiles/Manuals/Car/DEH-1200MP_OwnersManual1015.pdfAs I recall the manual was not much help.

I suggest draining and replacing with fresh fuel. Replace the spark plug and air filter. Check the oil level to ensure it is not a low oil shut down. Drain and replace oil if it is dark. Try restart. I take mine to a service dealer for a complete check up every year. The cost is usually less than $60. Starts everytime.

Hey Spike, I agree with Thomas W. Mine wouldn't start on the first try either. You have to hold the ignition button down, wait a few seconds, then depress again. It's kind of a pain, but it works. A more annoying issue for me was wanting to use it in my golf cart, but with every tiny bump, the safety feature kicked in and off it went. So, it is safer for home use. For the cart, I bought the Coleman Catalytic Heater with the special holder that fits in the cup holders. It's more quiet too. Stay warm!

It's smoked. I don't currently have that light because it didn't fit my 2000 chevy. It's way too long. Had to return it and bought the spyder brand.

The smoke is probably water vapor...you were pumping down a AC system, right? Mine did the same thing...I've used it several times and always see what looks like "smoke" coming from it...as long as the oil is filled to the level line on the sight glass and you keep it level while it's running, I wouldn't worry too much about it.

I was afraid of the same thing before I installed mine, but since I have installed it I haven't had any hassle from the dealership when I go in for routine maintenance. It could be a factor if the engine fails in the future due to some unrelated problem. Hope this helps

The smoke generator really stinks. You may have put too much in - turn it over and see if any oil drains out and try again.

1) make sure your fuel mixture is correct - you may have too much oil which would foul the plug 2) in the choke position, prime it 5 or 6X and check to see fuel flows (bulb should fill and you should see it flow in the fuel line,) if it is not flowing your problem is in the fuel line 3)squeeze the trigger and pull the starter coil until it tries to start 4) place the choke in half position and pull the start coil - it should start. 5) after it warms up 20-30 secs choke to run position. Note:Check that your air filter is clean as well - you can remove the sponge filter to see that your choke is working properly when moving the choke lever. 1) make sure your fuel mixture is correct - you may have too much oil which would foul the plug 2) in the choke position, prime it 5 or 6X and check to see fuel flows (bulb should fill and you should see it flow in the fuel line,) if it is not flowing your problem is in the fuel line 3)squeeze the trigger and pull the starter coil until it tries to start 4) place the choke in half position and pull the start coil - it should start. 5) after it warms up 20-30 secs choke to run position.

Try starting without the foam air cleaner filter. Replace the fuel (add stabilizer) and the little fuel filter in the tank. If that doesn't work change the plug. If all else fails save the auger bit and buy a new one...
