I'm having a problem reading these codes. I put it into diagnostic mode. It looked like 9 long pulses but then the short pulses would go in a 01 01 sequence but over and over again without stopping until i turned the screw back clockwise. Now when i start the car, the check engine light does not come on.

What do i do now?

 

well you cleared the code..

Well, i didn't follow the procedure for clearing the codes but if i did clear inadvertently, how do i determine the problem?Theoretically, if there is still a problem, the check engine light should re-appear, eventually, correct?

 

you sir are correct..

 

COOL!

 

actually getting the code to reappear means you have to get something fixed.. just hope the ECU stopped talking to something for a second and gave you the code.. my ECU and tranny did that once..


i cleared it and no more code.. car is working fine

 

I'm not sure what you mean by that but here's the thing.

I initially thought the code i got was 0902 but when i entered it at

this site it says undefined. however i did find an 0902 here

Now i'm completely confused.

 

OK, even though the check engine light cleared, there seems to be a problem. Now when i start, it does right out. i have to rev it in order for it to not shut off. once it's going . no problem

any ideas?

 

Max won't start unless i give it gas while cranking. Don't know what to do. i don't have a mechanic i trust and don't want to take it to dealer.
