Well the check engine light came on my g/f's celica last night. We tried to pull the codes from it but couldnt get anything. The CEL just stayed on constant and didnt give any flashes. What might be the problem?
Her car is a 96' GT with 68k miles. The cars seems to be running a tad bit funny but its kinda hard to tell (could be our imaginations). We also checked the gas cap and it seems to be tight. Can bad plugs/wires send a CEL? It really doesnt seem to be missing and accelerates smooth so im not too sure. --------------------  |

If you disconnect the battery, the ecu won't log the fault code(s) that you are trying to retrive anymore. You have to drive the car until the fault occurs again.
Borrow a code reader from someone or bring the car to a garage that know how to retrive the fault code(s). IMO, the E1<->TE1 + switched ON should still work. And... No, bad plugs/wires won't send a CEL. |
