Ok as I was driving to work today about 5 mins into it, the CEL came on and stayed on. Did not blink and its still on. Car drives fine, no wierd noises etc.... Can I take it to pep boys and have them run a diagnostic test for cheap? Get the code then take it from there?


I dont know what it could be all vaccum line ets are conncted, HFC has beeen on foir more then 300 miles could the METH maybe have friend something?

Is the Blinking CEL bad or the steady one?

 

Just buy a generic OBD-II scanner for cheap. Or maybe borrow one from a friend. Important to tell if it's a benign code or something bad.

 

No code, no help. I bet it's a catalyst inefficiency code, or bank one to rich/lean.

 

is that bad? Does that mean my O2 sensor could be bad?


Where can I go to get it scanned for me? or buy a scanner where do I stick it?

Could it be the MAP sensor? I noticed my car was stumbling under load when it was cold last night, I "MAP WHACKED IT" it was fine

Pep Boys, Autozone? Where do I stick it?

 

go to autozone they check them for free see wat code it is post it here well let you know... or you can buy a pocket scan but you need to plug it in and know how to read it...you plug it in under your dash on the right had side almost behind the radio... wen you look under the steering wheel it says obd2 scan or something and points to the right...Just go to autozone its easy theyll check it for you

 

Thanks brother, I will go to AutoZone tomorrow night and post it. I hope its no big deal, I mean car runs great, maybe its the huge change in temperature and METH causing some whacky readings i dunno...............

 

Anything could be bad or expensive.

Get the code.

 

yah, It is probably your map if you have are using a missing link. But cant say for sure unless you get your code and let us know!

 

jesus, I feel sick, hopefully it will be ok Ill get the code ASAP, I have to fly early tomorrow, Indianapolis round trip

Is there a thread on codes and what they mean?

 

wouldnt surprise me if its your cat, or high flow cat... autozone is your friend
