Re: check engine light S90-V90 1996

Man! You should have asked before you did it! Spraying cleaner into a open intake system of a car with O2 sensors, air sensors, knock sensors, etc., all sending signals to a computer is really asking for it.

The body should have been removed from the car, cleaned with solvent, while avoiding getting any in the throttle position sensor, dried and reinstalled.

The flame trap is in a small housing, about 1" dimension, in the top of the big rubber elbow that feeds into to throtle body. It's a bayonet type of device but may be stuck very tight. A hose about 1/2" in dia. goes down through the manifold to the oil separator there.

If you haven't damaged anything, and got the hoses all back in the right place, the "Check Engine" will go out after a while when no faults exist in the system. Depending on the fault detected, you may be able to get it reset by disconnecting the battery also. You have, and know how to re-enter the radio codes correct?
