Follow up to my old post P1136
 

Well, it's emission time in TN for me.. anyways, I've been dealing with P1136 for a while and this past weekend decided to take a look, I found a vacumm hose that connects to the manifold that was broken and in terrible shape so I replaced that portion and disconnected the battery to reset the ECU.. Well after 1hr the CEL is still there.. so okay, I decided today to unplug the battery completely and still there..

So If anyone can share some light on what it can be, I will taking this car to the dealer and let them deal with it.. Then I might just sell it becuase, it's really turning out to be more of a headache than anything..

go to autozone and use their loner tool to reset the code manually......

EDIT: i may be wrong, but i think i remember hearing that the cycle for resetting CELs is 200 miles....

I think you have to disco the battery for like 30 minutes or so... that is what I was told.

Yeah typically that takes care of it. I suppose you can pull off the cover to the ECU box and disconnect it for a bit. I'd probably guess that you didn't fix the problem though.

^^^ nope, I just tried the ecu, I unplug for maybe 3 minutes. and then plugged it back and and started the car, still there.. which makes no sense, cuz, in my accord, I unplug it and then plug back in it's gone, but it won't read any codes for a few hrs before everything is synced back up..

I looked at these post:

So I went to autozone and plug it back it, well it turns out it has 2 codes P1136 and P0102. The last one beign the one I'm a bit concerned about.. Hopefully it's not a bad MAF Sensor...

I cleared out the codes and will drive it tomorrow to work, hopefully I don't get pulled over on the way in to go the emission tested..

Whoo hoo passed.. But I'm still going to look and make sure that all the components are not failing on me..
