I am such a non-mechanical type.... I was getting a check engine light at idle, but as soon as I give it gas it goes out. So, checking the codes was recommended to me. I had no clue, but after a little research here, I found out how to do this with a paperclip. Here is what I got on my 89 SC 5 spd. (I left the parking brake on. Hope it didn't make a diff)
Car off, but warm
Test one
11 then 66
Car running and after the funky rpm stuff it did
33 72 73 25 74
To make sure I did it right, I shut the car off for about 20 seconds and did it again
Test two
Car off
11 66
Car running
33 77 74
What in the world does this mean? I did find the codes page, but like I mentioned before, I am not that mechanically inclined, so I am not 100% what it all meant. A basic explanation would be very helpful. Thanks in advance
