    check engine light

    i get the CE light every time i drive after driving for about 20 minutes. I dont even know where to look for the codes or light indicators or whatever. I figure its probably an O2 sensor or something. where do i look for a code and what do the codes mean?

    tilt the driverside seat forward and pull it all the way to the wheel. there's a plastic casing with a little cap you can pop off. it'll have a light that blinks for the PGMFI code

    sounds like your car is throwing EGR if it's while cruising around after warm

    edit:

    here's the link to the FAQ:

    so just count the times it blinks..... if it were more than one blink how long would it be in between blinks?

    which oxygen sensor is the primary sensor.... is it the one that feeds the middle two cylinders or the outer two cylinders.

    You EFI guys are so lucky. Carb owners have to sacrifice a virgin or something, to find out what's wrong. Then if it's a vacuum problem, we have to face the octopus.
