  • Check engine light

    My check engine light blinks when it idles at 750 rpm and if I rev it it stops or it idles above 1000. It never stays on just blinks.

    The check engine light is controlled exclusively by the ECA computer grounding out.
    I am going to check tomorrow if I left my blue/black wire intact. I think I will use it for my choke light reminder.

    Good luck mike, it could be due to a number of things.

      Does anyone know how the check engine light is supposed to work?
      The maual has checks for check engine light never on or always on.
      Everytime it blinks, does that mean it has stored a code?

        Well either way the car still runs and I will worry about it when it stays on.

          I'd try reading the codes to see if anything is stored.

            If the light don't stay on will it hold codes?
