232 code 200 1989

Hi Ryan,

I don't know how to tell what is causing the 232 code. What I do know is, when you change something, you need to reset the computer so it loses the adapting it has done to compensate for the previous condition. Then if the condition returns, you know the computer had a fresh start.

Just one experience I've had with 232 was fixed when I replaced the intake manifold gasket. I wish I knew a formula to use with those cryptic OBD1 codes, but it seems to me they are never as useful as I'd like them to be. Go with your gut, and if you think it smells rich, and you can easily swap the fuel pressure regulator, you might have the trouble solved. Either way, I try to clear the computer and ride a few miles before taking the emissions exam. I still get nervous, like it is a test in school.
