engine codes in 88 gl?


Recommended Posts

so when i first started off, the engine light comes on and it read 51, which says inhibitor switch for autos. which makes sense, then, i drive a little further and it seems to act boggy and the engine light will start flashing at me and the ecu code reader light will flash 7 times quick. i dont have a code for number 7 on the sheet i printed out?

The code 7 is an identity code. As far as your symptoms, i would suggest the coolant temp sensor. Sometimes the code can be vauge, and a defective part would almost have to be entirely broken, or disconnected to trip a code.

 

You might just be reading a stored code. There is a clear memory connector as well. Have you read the code retrieval sequence?
