No,but for fuel efficiency it is best. All the emission devices have a purpose and all work together for the good of the engine.
There are a few reasons. crankshaft position sensor, faulty fuel pump, fuel pump regulator, throttle position sensor, oxygen sensor. Need to have it diagnosed.
Your computer may need to reset, try disconnecting your battery for at least 30min.
how to replace the water pump on a 1998 Honda Accord
check fuel pump relay, mass air flow sensor in the intake or egr valve stack open and oxygen sensor so there are checks that need to be done to find out the cause problem.
I get no fuel to the injectors don't hear the pump prime and if I connect power directly to the pump and get pressure to the fuel rails, no injectors are opening when I crank,,, I am getting sparks, how can I check if it is the ECU broken or the big fuel relay at the firewall?,, or is there some other problems, this engine was rebuilt by previous owner and he put the electiric in a mess, put wrong firing order(fixed that), put on new headers which was wrong and it has no oxygen sensor, (will it not run if the oxygen sensor is not hooked up? ) I will put original manifolds on and oxygen sensor soon... can bad maf sensor ruin the ECU...? previous owner told me he thougth the maf sensor was bad.... Help me get this Iroc-Z running again... Thanks,
if the oil pressure sensor is not hooked up the pump will not run make sure whether it needs sensor for light or gauge cause it matters on the computer controled car
need to drop the tank and pull the fuel pump out and change the sensor
maybe throttle postion sensor or fuel pump or fuel filter or oxygen sensor
The injection pump crank sensor is internal to the injection pump. It is not serviceable.
oxygen sensor
As you face the car, on the right (driver side) in front of the engine is an air pump, a vertical canister device on a large metal bracket. the sensor is at the bottom of this assembly. You can trace the wires on the right side of the canister/pump.
The fuel pump pressure sensor monitors the fuel pressure of the vehicle.
