  • PLEAse HelP?

    About 4 days ago i went 110mph and when i got home the SES light turned on but Ran Fine and 2 days later it turned off. Well my car started Bogging down these past couple of days and the last time that it did this was when i had replaced new wires,plugs,ignition module and coil pack.(which was about 8 months ago).

    Is there any way that i can find out what is causing this?

    any suggestions? thx

      So The Scanner will pick up a code even if the SES light isnt on?

          Yeah, autozone does it for free. Or if you have an uncle that has one, go to him (mine does, haha). Good luck!

              It will store the codes until they are erased.

                yes, the codes are stored, unless the problem has been fixed and the pcm recognizes it but i haven't heard of many self fixing f-bodies out there :)

                  I would try to find a buddy with one or something, because shops charge a lot to scan your car.

                  For Instance, I'm a mechanic at Midas, which is a Brake and Muffler shop, but we do everything. Just to scan your codes, it'll cost you $79.99.

                  You can buy a nice scanner for that much, and buy lunch, lol.

                    no kidding, i just bought an obd1/obd2 scanner for 150$, thats about what it costs for 2 scans at a shop. but i can use this for most cars on the road plus any of my buddy's cars.

                    not to mention i can run diagnostics and stream live data etc.

                      Yeah, for sure.

                      We have a Snap On Scanner at our shop. It cost somewhere around $1500 I think, lol.

                      I guess it just depends on what type of scanner you buy.

                              your EGR is dirty.. take it off and clean it with some carb & choke cleaner

                              it should go away.. if not, you will have to get another EGR
