92_rugby_subie Posted March 15, 2011 Share Posted March 15, 2011 You really should let someone come look at that... Im thinking that with Mile Fox's guide, you are looking at: "25 Throttle Sensor Idle Switch or Circuit" This would be your 2 long blinks and then 5 shorts (being 25) Thats for SPFI This is for carburetors: "25 Manifold Vacuum Sensor or Circuit (1985-1988 Models)" Sorry for the confusion Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
