Help reading codes
I was wondering if there is a site anyone knows of where it will help interpret fault codes? I have a nissan maxima and i failed emissions because of a trouble code and i cant interpret the code.I think it is one of the coil packs but im not sure. The car is a 2000 and is running but slight misfire somewhere and im not sure of the code. Thank you for any info.

Does your tachometer work? If the CPS (camshaft position sensor) goes, it won't register anything. In addition, you're engine wouldn't run since it wouldn't know when to fire the spark plugs.
Now, they can work intermittently, but if your engine is running as you get this code, it's not the CPS.

*tps93, since this isn't a Ranger specific question, you may benefit from a broader audiance by posting this (or having it moved) to the GAD forum.
