Really need more info. Back fireing while under load? Doing it all the time? Hows it idle? last tune up? Big loss of power? Check the obvious, loose plugwire and plugs. Did you recently was the engine off? Could be water in the dist cap. What year is it? It is real easy to pull the code if it is 91 or newer. check those by cycling the key swich on and off 3 times and the numbers will flash thru the check engine light. each blink is a number if you have 2 quick blinks then a small pause the five blinks then a longer pause the fike five blinks a pause then five blinks you have a code 25 and a 55. the 55 is normal it is like an all done code Iam not sure of each code but I can look them up later.

Here is a site that lists the codes. trouble codes Don't forget that if your code comes up as say O2 sensor fault doesn't meen that the O2 sensor is bad it meens there is a problem with that circuit. It could be the sensor or it could be a bad connection... Hope this helps. Good luck. |
