ok so my 91 wont idle and has a check engine light and the way i was told to check the codes does not work and my computer is working like it should cause i had it shipped and looked at and there is no vacuum leak anywhere and no broken wires or anything so is there another way to check the codes besides with a analog volt meter. i might get a guy form a shop to come take a look but not sure. so if anyone has a way to check let me know asap. its the only thing left on the car to do besides smog it so any help is good

 

where are you located?

 

im in Coarsegold CA

 

it's obd1... any autozone or advance, etc should be able to read the code for you.

 

well i cant drive the car anywhere and only places here r Napa, car quest and O'Reilly which i will never use again cause there a big joke and any other place i have to tow it

 

napa should be able to read the code. they may be a big joke, but they can read your codes. Or you can buy an OBD I reader at any auto parts store usually.

 

Cant do much without a code... Obviously something is wrong. go buy a code reader for OBDI, read your code and take it back...

You can also get a scan master for you car and it has a engine code readout as well as a bunch of other goodies...

 

well went to everyone up here and no one will read codes anymore. and i cant just go buy a code reader see what it says and return it. once that kinda stuff gets plugged in its yours for good and ya but im going to sale it or try and get a truck cause i need a truck more anyways but ya

 

ok so my buddy came over and tried to read the codes and nothing came up and i also pulled out the ideal air control valve and it works and no broken wires or anything but the car still dies and last night it died like as soon as i started it so idk any more but i need it running this week
