Also the check engine had been on for about three weeks. Autozone said O2 senors. and the O/D sometimes came on after hitting around 55mph this has been happening for about 4 months and it starts to flash plus 6 chimes when a start the car instead of three Last edited by fordceggl; 04/26/04 02:48 PM.

Even if it's pre-cats, even if it's a simple TB cleaning, even if it's an air leak. Post the codes, or check the OBD-II listings for your particular code(s) to get better insight into what you may need to do. Autozone is great for free code reading, but their advice in these matters usually SUCKS 'cause they typically know NOTHING about our cars. Must be that jumbly-wumbly thing happening again.

Get this looked at sooner than later. 4 months is way to long to ignore this! - Zack WANTED: T-Red HEATED Side Mirrors FOR SALE: 4 14" Alum Alloys and Nearly New Avid H4s Tires w/ Center Caps 2000 T-Red SVT 1995 LX V6 MTX (RIP)
