Re: Check engine light...

At this point, pretty much 75% of the possible questions have been asked and answered. If "do a search" is the proper response, then we should do it for quite a few questions.

I suggest that if you don't want to answer, don't. I'm not trying to be offensive. If your post was "I seem to recall question but not the answer, try a search with these keywords", that's good. But, if your answer is "it's been asked, go search" then I'll suggest you just ignore the thread.

That's in the "typing skills" category...I admit I can't type. No mistakes writing longhand but lots of them typing. No, don't have a spelling-checker but do try to catch most mistakes. Usually don't...sorry.

Thanks for the corection...I meant "search."

You said what I was thinking a whole lot more diplomatic way that I would have. I think I'll end it at that. Thank to all those who tried to provide helpful information as well as those who emailed me on the matter.

You're welcome.

Nah, just wait around. It'll reset itself automatically eventually, right Bob?

It will unless the defective component continues to throw the code, Pinto man.

I noticed that you skipped the part of my other post where I requested that you prove me wrong about this. Go ahead. I like to learn.

On type II ECU it takes 50 start/engine run/off cycles to clear with no fault detected, there is no spec on type III ECU error retention but likely the same . Chances are it will reset the day before he refills with gas while leaving the key in the on position or heaven forbid the engine running.
