danzick Posted June 14, 2011 Share Posted June 14, 2011 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?

MilesFox Posted June 14, 2011 Share Posted June 14, 2011 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? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MilesFox Posted June 16, 2011 Share Posted June 16, 2011 It is the one part that will cause the most trouble. If you are good, you can find one for closer to 45 bucks. or pocket items at the junkyard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
