I did that short-out method to read the codes on my car. It flashed 55, which is ECM. The only quirks I've noticed is the tranny-slipping-feel I described in 1992-1999, and the fact that it runs a little hooter than it should. I just changed my T-stat from a 160 to a 180. What'* the deal??

Hotter!! Hotter!! Not hooter!! Freudian slip there...

55 ain't normally a good thing. But your car seems fine. Disconnect your battery for a good 30 minutes to reset your codes, since you don't have a scantool to do it with.

After that, DON'T start the car. Turn the ignition back on and check again. It may be a history code from an earlier time.....but I'm not sure if history codes show up using the flash feature.

You're looking at the wrong code list.

See your other thread.

I've had that one before. Had to clean and lube the EGR cylinder shafts. No problems since. And DON'T use WD-40 to lube. Clean with it, but that crap is a SOLVENT, not a lube, and will just evaporate under heat.

Use a teflon based lube for the shafts after cleaning.

Okay, thanks...I guess the only question now is, where in heck is the EGR Solenoid #3???

Okay, I reset the computer, no codes now. Thanks.
