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...

sounds it hesitate? and to get the check engine light back working, just go to autozone and buy the bulb and put it in.
