It suggests sticking valves or ignition misfire   john heath (Jheath6) New Member Username: Jheath6 Post Number: 28 Registered: 09-2003 Posted on Monday, September 22, 2003 - 10:24 am:    what causes these problems it did this in a vss type situation   J E Robison Service Co (Robisonservice) Member Username: Robisonservice Post Number: 112 Registered: 10-2002 Posted on Monday, September 22, 2003 - 10:42 am:    speed sensor failure does not produce this fault because the speed sensor causes the ecu to switch off fuel supply to the injectors. No fuel does not produce 1316. Ignition failure with fuel present causes this fault.   john heath (Jheath6) New Member Username: Jheath6 Post Number: 29 Registered: 09-2003 Posted on Monday, September 22, 2003 - 02:49 pm:    how about an alt belt on wrong and not producing enough charge   marc olivares (Pugs) Member Username: Pugs Post Number: 203 Registered: 12-2002 Posted on Monday, September 22, 2003 - 04:56 pm:    john, quit why your ahead and check the suggestions that have been given. start with the misfire- "ignition failure with fuel present" then on to your valves. marc   john heath (Jheath6) New Member Username: Jheath6 Post Number: 30 Registered: 09-2003 Posted on Monday, September 22, 2003 - 06:02 pm:    what do you look at first that is causing a misfire is there a sensor or something i should goto first and why did the speedo quit the same time this all happened   marc olivares (Pugs) Member Username: Pugs Post Number: 205 Registered: 12-2002 Posted on Tuesday, September 23, 2003 - 11:09 am:    speedo related to your alt. issue. start with your spark plugs and work back. don't immediately think it's a sensor or some mysterical computer component, get back to the basics. plugs, wires, coil packs etc... did you recently change the alt? if so check this thread por board it's seems that mike had similar issues due to the incorrect alt. marc   john heath (Jheath6) New Member Username: Jheath6 Post Number: 32 Registered: 09-2003 Posted on Tuesday, September 23, 2003 - 05:09 pm:    no i didn't change the alt. but they put the belt on wrong and all sorts or crap was happening and after i put it on right checked the code and reset it nothing bad has happened since i have my power back and no misfiring thats why i was asking if the alt could do it
