Default cel code 16 i think , 91 civic si hatchback

the ecu when i looked it seemed like 1 flash fast pause then 16 flashes fast then a restart again of the same thing so is that code 16 or a code 1 and code 16





questions on my cel code number 16

code 16 / i see reading thru the forums its related back to the fuel injectors but im not having any problems at all with the car starting or running at all it just intermeditaly comes on after about 10 minutes of driving then if i pull over shut the car off and turn it back on same thing again 10 minutes later after driving it will come back on again,

any suggestions on this ? thank you in advance for the help

You have code 1 and code 16

Remove the Hazard fuse in the main fuse box for 10 seconds to clear the ECU. When the CEL turns ON again, read the code(s). Perhaps only one of the codes will repeat. This will allow you to focus your troubleshooting effort.

Code 1 = O2 sensor
This probably indicates a problem with the O2 sensor (or also possibly the fuel pressure regulator or ECU).

Code 16 = fuel injector

This could indicate a problem with the fuel injector, injector resistor, or ECU.

You haven't noticed a performance problem because the faults are probably intermittent for now. Best to fix now to avoid becoming stranded.
