I just tried out my new INNOVA 3145 code reader on my '93 XLT and on the KOEO portion, got a 111 result – no faults detected. After 32 years of near daily use. I'm impressed.
Then I did the KOER test. After figuring out that I hadn't done the "goose" test when prompted to I repeated the whole process and, when "10" was displayed I goosed the engine pretty well. I did not floor it because I'm frankly afraid to, but I did run it up pretty good. Then I got a Code 167.
The description of 167 in the INNOVA manual is, "Throttle Position sensor fault during dynamic response test."
The description in my Haynes manual is, "Insufficient Throttle Position Sensor change during Dynamic Response Check."
So it appears I didn't run the RPMs up as much as it wanted, but that is the only code I'm getting. Should I even worry about it?
Also, the instructions on the "wiggle" test are sort of incomplete. What is it?
-thanks
