GOT THE '96 BACK FROM IT'S COMPUTER TRANSPLANT THURSDAY. DROVE HOME FROM TULSA, STOPPED AT FT GIBSON TO GAS UP, CAME ON HOME AND THE SES LIGHT CAME ON WHEN I PULLED IN THE DRIVE WAY. GAS CAP, I THOUGHT.
RAN SOME ERRANDS FRIDAY AND SURE ENOUGH, ABOUT THE THIRD START OR SO THE LIGHT WENT OFF. ESTA BIEN. SATURDAY WENT TO MUSKOGEE FOR CHRISTMAS RECON AND THE DAMN LIGHT CAME ON AGAIN. SUNDAY WENT TO OKC. AFTER PIT STOP(DARLING WIFE ALONG)LIGHT WENT OUT. THIS WAS THE THIRD START SINCE IT WENT ON. AFTER PIT STOP ON THE WAY HOME IT WENT ON AGAIN. I NOTED THAT THE USUAL PRESSURE HISS WHEN I TAKE OFF THE GAS CAP DID NOT OCCUR ANY TIME I GASSED UP SINCE THURSDAY. WHADDA YA THINK? |

WILL BE NO CODES TILL I GET IT BACK TO TULSA. JUST THOUGHT SOMEBODY MIGHT RECOGNIZE THE SYMPTOMS. THE PATTERN REPEATED ITSELF YESTERDAY. DOESN'T SEEM TO BE TOO DETRIMENTAL, THE BUMBLEBEE IS RUNNING BETTER THAN IT EVER HAS SINCE I GOT IT. |

DON'T SAY THAT. SAY THAT IT'S SOMETHING MINOR AND INEXPENSIVE. I'M WAY OVER MY TOY CAR BUDGET. |

Could be as simple as a loose gas cap....or something more. But a huge benefit of the computer controlled cars (esp obdii) is the enhanced troubleshooting via codes.

the problem is that the OBDII codes are too long to fit on the speedo...
take the car to the local Autozone and pull codes for free. |

SO,GOT THE CAR BACK TO TULSA FOR A SCAN. NO CODES SHOWING, LIGHT STILL ON. MECHANIC'S HYPOTHESIS IS THAT THE MASS AIR SENSOR IS ONLY MARGINALLY ADEQUATE FOR THE ENGINE SETUP, THROTTLE BODY, CAM, INJECTORS, ETC, AND ALLOWS THE MIXTURE TO GO TOO RICH OFF AND ON. NO HARM DONE, EXCEPT THAT DAMN LIGHT. WANTS ME TO TRY GOING IN "DRIVE" WHEN IN TOWN & UNDER 50 MPH TO SEE IF THAT WILL KEEP THE LIGHT OFF. SO FAR IT'S STILL OFF & ON. WE SHALL SEE. TOY CAR BUDGET IS EASED SOMEWHAT, AS I FIND THAT I HAVE A STAINLESS STEEL PPK THAT HE WANTS. BARTER IS ALIVE AND WELL IN OKLAHOMA. |

YEAH, WEIRD I THOUGHT, BUT THAT WAS WHAT WAS ON THE LITTLE SCANNER THINGY.
IF I HAD KNOWN HOW "MODDED" THE CAR WAS I PROBABLY WOULD NOT HAVE BOUGHT IT. KIND OF A PIG IN A POKE. GOT IT FROM A DEALER AND WAS NEVER ABLE TO LOCATE THE PO. BUT IT LOOKS GREAT (I'VE EVEN BECOME RECONCILED TO THE CHROME WHEELS) AND NOW IT'S RUNNING LIKE A CHAMP. DAMN LIGHT, I MAY HAVE TO RESORT TO THE BLACK TAPE SOLUTION. |

YEAH, YOU'RE RIGHT, A REPLACEMENT SEEMS CALLED FOR. IF THIS GUY CAN'T TUNE IT I DESPAIR OF FINDING ANYONE THAT CAN. ALL HE DOES IS CORVETTES AND HIGH PERFORMANCE STUFF. GOOD THING HE WANTS THAT PISTOL. ;) GOT SOME MINOR STUFF NEEDS DOING ON THE '87, MAY CAN COMBINE IT ALL FOR ONE SWELL FOOP IN A TRADE. |
