When will I drive without getting a code......

007_e350 · 07-03-2013, 12:25 PM

I'm so sick of this half engine freakin light, last time it was vaccum leak that I replaced all hoses fixed, it was fine last night, this morning sluggish as heck and threw a code when I pushed it .. I'm waiting for my JB4 cable to see what the code was, is there a quicker way to see the code from the car ??

yeah get a code reader...

007_e350 · 07-03-2013, 12:43 PM

shadow codes aren't read by regular OBDII readers

ah well than i really dont know LOL , seriously by code reader i mean BT cable, INPA, etc. Get a cable and inpa best option. If you dont know how to get inpa or what it is search here, lots of threads
Also the codes you are getting are probably not shadow codes (like tuning codes)

Own the tools to read codes prior to tuning your car
