To make sure, I'd go to Autozone and get the code checked, you never know.

Hey happy4444 that means that there is a bad sensor or something is bad ,I get ghost codes but they go away after reset if it comes back it means that is true ( a bad sensor or something is bad) and not a ghost code .. Autozones check engine lights for free but for what ever reason it has to be 1996 and up ..
good luck hope this helps ..

Doesn't have to be 96 and up, just has to be OBDII. They get confused when I ask for my 95, but just let them know it's OBDII and it's no problem.

0505 is still a code. it is sometimes tripped by a voltage spike/drop. check your alternator and your battery.

Sometime when you found the problem and replaced that part but the check engine light still not going away.. you might want to look around that problem part.. holes/pipe going in/out might be clog also..
