Take it to Autozone if you have one in your area. They will run the code for free.

1999 Explorer

I have a friend that said that GM and Chrysler's check engine light will flash so all you do is count the flashes and that is the trouble code. Is there any way for me to get the check engine light to just flash a code on Fords? What do you think it might be? Thanks for the reply by the way.

I don't believe the check engine light will flash the code on Ford's but maybe someone else can respond and say for sure. I know the airbag light will flash the code because I just had that happen 2 weeks ago.

I have a '99, & I had the check engine light come on as well. Don't remember what it flashed, but I had the same symptoms you describe. The problem was detemined to be my intake manifolds - seems they are plastic with O ring gaskets. I had to have them replaced, & it's been fine since.
