A really crude question, Is your engine oil full?

Haha, no offense taken. Yup, full mark on the stick. I thought the same thing. I noticed something weird though, there is oil on the left battery and surrounding areas. Not a lot and not enough to drip on the ground, but it's obviously oil.

I was using a buddy's SGII to monitor the FICM. I have an SCT X3 and no codes were read. Would the P code come up if the FICM crapped the bed?

Is there a tutorial somewhere on how to check the FICM voltage? Is it something I can do by myself? I'm hoping to find a cheap MM somewhere and thinking I might be able to get the degas tank out of the way using my leatherman.

Thanks, found it. Looks like I'll need someone to turn the key for one of the tests...


Im thinking it has to be the FICM since I'm not hearing the injector clicking while waiting for the light to go out on the dash.
