check engine light

[dwforum]

So my check engine light clicks on pretty often when I am sitting at a stoplight for a few minutes, but shuts off as soon as I start driving. It first started less than a week ago. The problem is my obc only displays random gibberish, so I can't view the fault code. Does anyone know if I brought it into a local shop if they have an easy way of checking whats wrong without the obc. Thanks

I've tried it a few times, but I am having trouble with it. It seems to be giving more than four digits...does it repeat the code multiple times?

i think it blinks a few times to let u know that it worked (4 i think?) then it starts giving u the code.

Ignoring the first bit of flashing, I think it looks like the code is 1222, Lambda Control One. Would that be the o2 sensor?

doesnt mean the o2 seonsor is bad though..... could be fuel injectors fuel pressure regulator spark plug... ign. sys. and a few other things
