97 Intrepid "Check Engine" Light Codes 12 & 43?

Apr 17, 2006 1 Replies

A few weeks before my '97 intrepid is due for a NY inspection the check engine light comes on. ARGH!! I did the on-off-on-off-on ignition thing and the returned numbers were:


1-2-4-3-5-5

I assume this means I have two reasons why my check engine light is on



12 and 43. True?

Can anyone point me in the direction of what these codes mean?



Any recommendations on how to get this inspected in one pass???



Hi...

Ignore the 12; ignore the 55, which leaves you with 43.

43 indicates a cylinder misfire.

If you want to know which particular cylinder you'll have to have someone do a proper scan.

Or, if the timetable indicates, maybe just time for plugs and wires etc...

Take care.
