Check Engine on... any ideas Updated with Code

Only had the car for a week.. cars been running fine no problems nothing.. so this afernoon i was looking and there was a harness pretty much on one of the headers to the long tube so i pulled the harness away and try to tuck it somewhere so it wouldnt burn anymore.. start the car no problem when its in first it throws the code and wont go off till u shut the car off. any ideas? im going to autozone to have them check the code tomorrow but only thing i can think of is cuz i moved the harness
its a 95 gt with a 347 stroker and a aode trans

Look down in my replay for the info

Not worth guessing about. Just wait till you get codes pulled. Or if you have a paperclip, you can do it yourself. Post codes when you get them.

Good luck.

The ONLY way to know. Pull the codes, then tell us what they are. If you don't want to have to go to autozone or wherever, midwayautosupply sells the scanners for like $35. They also have the extension cable for $20 or so that allows you to sit in the car while pulling codes. Both are definitely handy tools to have.

The dorks at autozone wouldnt run the codes for my car because it wasn't the new ODB2.. Even tho they had the plug for it right in the scanners case. I went to Bumper to Bumper and they ran them, and I ended up buying the scantool from them.

Yea they pulled that BS on me too. He was like, "oh we don't do OBD1". I said 'yea you do, you've done it before'. "No we just do OBD2". "well do you at least sell the scanners?" "no". So I left and bought one online. The guy was just lazy I think.

I will prob just buy one then. Its better off having one incase something is up. Thank you guys for the imput on everything.. Ill let you know what the code shows when I have it done

ooops

It is funny - the guys would not run codes for me on an OBD-I car (not a stang), but did for my sister. Hmmmmmmm. I should have put on my wig and heels I guess (I am 6', 250#).

[sonicblue87lx]

update

had the code pulled it was 511 which the guy was like the eca with im going with the processer is just bad or something but thats the only code that was pulled.
also the car is cuttin out at high rpms i thin its the fuel filter cuz my buddies 98 cobra did it and it was just the filter.. and i believe it cuz the previous owner ran some 110 in it and i know some cars after that the fuel filter goes to ****. so now you have the code whats some ideas? it does have a chip on it right now and i have a spare chip as well

getting a ROM code is not unusual when one runs a chip. Just FYI.

Good luck.

 

[sonicblue87lx]

Yea im not worried about it at the moment but id like to take care of it soon. maybe ill just buy another processor or something

[HISSIN50]
