    Hi all,
    My Plymouth Voyager 89, TBI, 3 autm. speed, 170k KM has the next fault
    codes: 15, 52 (I put the code description below)
    For code 15: I don't know what should I check. My speedometer show
    normal speed when running, the odometer also works fine. What else
    should I check?
    For code 52: I replaced the oxygen sensor with a new one, but the code
    is still there. I check rust on catalytic converter (Note #5) but
    nothing important. Indead, when engine is cold, run crummy. After
    become normal temperature, the engine run well, but the code still
    display when I stop and check the code.
    Please any comments will be welcome.

    Thanks, Chris

    15 No speed/distance sensor signal
    52 Oxygen sensor stuck at rich position (SEE NOTE #5!)
    OR
    52 Internal logic module fault ('84 turbo only)
    NOTE #5.Wade Goldman wrote: In my case, the breather tube leading into
    the catalytic converter had rusted and become detached. This some how
    would cause the sensor to read an over rich condition and run crummy.
    I did not trust the reliability of the weld over a corroded surface
    and opted for the more expensive route of replacing the converter,
    breather tube and all.

    The reason your speedometer/odometer reads correct in spite of
    the distance sensor fauly is because on your model year vehicle,
    the speedometer/odometer is driven by a cable. This precludes a
    problem with the distance sensor and/or associated wiring and
    computer circuits. Odds are it is only a failed distance sensor.
    Because a code 52 means that your engine is running too rich, fix
    the cause of the rich fuel mixture.

    Because a code 52 means that your engine is running too rich, fix
    Thanks for reply.
    What should I check first myself in order to find the cause, before to
    go to a garage.
    The cars symptoms are:
    When start in cold wheather (-20, -30C here at Montreal), the car
    starts well (fist shoot) but initial is running crummy (3-5 min.)
    But when the engine become normal temp. is running well, not stalling,
    not smoke, normal power.

    Thank you again,
    Cristian
