    check engine light help

    Hey guys, so I have a check engine light on which is preventing me from getting my car smogged. I to couple of mechanic shops today and none of them carry the OBD1 scanner which is for the older models for our cars. I was wondering if you guys know any place that I can take my car to get it checked. Thanks much

    do it yourself with a Stomp Test.

    turn the key to the on position
    "stomp" on the throttle five times quickly but not flashfast
    now pay attention to the CEL, it will flash once, then begin to give you the code
    it will be a four digit code read out like morse code, remember that code,
    write it down if you have to and you'll be pointed in the direction of the fault.

    it may read several codes, one after another so be patient and pay attention.

    ill find a link on the list of codes...
