There are "soft" codes and "hard" ones.

Soft codes don't illuminate.

Code reader hookup time.

POP, they said they got the light to stay off, but the repair was going to cost him $700.
I assume they took out the bulb. LOL

Easy to find out.

Bulb check at initial start.

Good morning Oregon and everyone everywhere else. 36.7 with light scattered overcast that looks like it could burn off fairly early.

I'm kind of wondering if there isn't a disconnect and a lack of communications at that shop between the mechanic and the helper.
I plan on checking a little further today. Going to put my scanner back on and check everything out including the bulb check.

OK carburetor fans..........My old Ranger occasionally stalls when coming down from highway speed to a stop.........the bottom just drops out and it quits.
And, it always tries to stall when coming down from 55-60mph and making the hard left turn into my driveway off HWY 126. It never stalls at stop lights during stop and go town traffic.
Other than that it runs fantastic, great power and good mpg, has the occasional hot start problem but cold starts great.

This thing is ALMOST making me miss EFI.

Had the purge canister solenoid code light come on in the wife's 97 Aerostar..........It stayed on intermittently for a week or so, then had it cleared from the computer and it never came back.

As long as the car is running good, running SAFE, the light stays off, I can't confirm any bad codes and it is not going to leave them stranded, I'm not going to sweat it too much. The car is high mileage and so is dad at 90 years old.

Like Pop said, liook at the dash when you first turn on the key, see if the cel cycles.

That sounds more like an ignition problem


Do you still have the infamous box on the fender?
may be time for the GM Hei upgrade. takes off on your wiring harness, plug and play, 40,000 volts.


You can always plug your stock box back in if your not happy with the upgrade

Well, I managed not to burn or gore myself in the shop today, I guess that progress
i will be elongating the nose, slanting the eyes, and pointing the ears to help with its odd look.





If a monkey, a duck, a clown, and a dragon had a kid this would be it.
