do a search for checking codes...jrickter has a good diagram for that.

if you are stopped and just push and release the clutch, will it flicker??

not really when im just stopped, usually off of idle mid way through first then all the way through second the just a second in third.. i took out the egr sensor and inspected it?? the thing i guess that tells the computer when its opened and closed out and it seems to have stopped for the moment..
