Uhm...i havent checked those things since i had my car...and i believe my check engine light bulb is blown....so i wouldnt know if its throwing any codes unless i get it checked out...i think i have a clogged cat or fuel filter though.....cause my car doesnt accelerate like its suppose to....especially if im in 3rd-5th gears at low rpms it acts like it dont wanna go nowhere[&:]

I use SeaFoam for the fuel injecters and top of the piston and it works wonders...
