  • check engine light

    Ridding earlier and a few times upon acceleration in top(forth) gear check engine light pops up but each time would disappear after lightly taping breaks.
    I have a diagnostic machine but only for 95 s and above.
    Any ideas?

    Can I find a list of components that would trip it off?

      You need to pull the codes stored on the ecu.
      You do this by grounding a single wire connector , located buy your break booster. Not sure with one you ground it's been a while and I now have. Capri wiring harness in my car so I no longer use this to pull my codes.
      You ground this connector turn your key to the run passion then count the flashes. That simple . Some one else will chime in and let you know exactly witch wire to ground.

        William, nice info if he has a EFI, but he has a 4 spd so there is the possibility that he has a carbie. But we don't know do we?

          I hate intermittent check engine lights.
          Please don't lose any sleep over it.

          Now you know why I threw out my ECU and hooked my check engine light to my manual choke. Good night everybody.
