Hey, after about 5 minutes of my 87 Lxi running my PGM-FI light comes on and stays on... What is the problem?

check the ECU for a code
oxygen sensors or mav or map sensors, check computer codes
I can't find the ECU in my 87 Accord LXI where is it and what does it look like /?
Put your driver's side front seat all the way forward and look in from behind it on the floor. Pull the little plastic tab off that you can see and it will flash a led when the engine is on if there is something wrong.

Currently driving a 95 LS soon to be turbo integra.
It blinked 12 times which is the EGR according to the other post on here. Any ideas how to fix this?
your EGR valve is stuck...replace it!
Ouch....$160 thats alot would it be ok to replace w/ a used one?
Hey I took of the EGR valve and cleaned it it seemed to be in working order but i am still getting the check engine light. On my EGR there is a black box on top does thast have any thing to do with the EGR or is that something totaly different. Its an 87 Accord LXi 4cyl 5spd FI
I think the black box you are talking about is part of the egr valve. Maybe the lift sensor? I'm not really sure what you mean.

Yeah my efi Light is coming on as well... as far as what the problem is... I have no clue haven't checked the stupid codes yet... hopefully nothing too serious... I'll let u guys know asap, n maybe u guyz can help... thanks.
I will alwayz drive my 3rd gen Accord, ya'll will neva c me driving a 4 door Ford.. lol
Heheheh miones goes on and off ...wierd. I need to check the ecu also, but I just bought the car 4 days ago the guy told me it comes on and off and the honda dealer told him not to worry about it... I hope its not anything big. The car runs great!
DOH!! It blinked 12 times ...soo what the hell does an EGR valve do????? Like i said in the previous post. The car runs great!
I still had a question on ECU code 8. No idea where to start.
but here this might help.

TDC sensor is in the distributor....check the connector and wiring, if you got a multimeter ,check it's resistance at the connector....I think it should be something like 700 ohms, but dont quote me on that,check the manual on Pauls site or maybe someone else might post it
Mine does that but some of my friends work at Darell Waltrip honda in franklin TN and they said that there is a sensor in the air reserve box (I think where the vac. lines go) But they said to pull it out spray it down w/ brake clean and take a little piece of wire and poke through all the little holes in the sensor and that should stop it for a while, but I'm just too lazy to do it. They told me this 8 months ago!
mine on the lude does 12 times as well and my book says thats egr, so stuck once in a while, whats the cheapest easiest way to solve it?
remove the valve and clean it with carb cleaner is the cheapest way.
Alex.
Yeah, clean it with carb cleaner and put it back in, and be sure to pull the ECU fuse (#11 in the 89 LX-i) to reset the ECU. Then start your car and drive around and see if the code comes back. If so you might need to replace the valve.

what if it is the lift sensor because that is what code 12 signifies.....is there anyway to replace the lift sensor without the egr being relaced
Cool, will pick up some carb cleaner when I get paid monday, finalyl get a payday off to use my lil remaining cash before the bills come.
i went to the junk yard and robbed a egr vavle from a car installed worked fine for like 30 minutes and now im still getting a cade 12. and the car runs like ass below 3 grand at low speed. feel it sputtering. above 3 grand you better move out of my way cause im hauling ass. does anyone know how to make my lovely computer happy again. i dont want to by a brand new egr thats over 100 bucks. im gonna run to the junk yard here soon to robb another one. hopefully i just a bad one. what would cause a egr valve to go bad besides getting dirty. thats obvious. i some technical info on this do-icky. thanks.
