Alright Alright..I know this topic has prolly been beaten to death but I am a recovering GM addict and I need help with my new mustang........

I recently purchased an 89 gt convertable and I have been having the check engine light come on intermittenly, The car has a BBK H pipe and 2.5 flowmasters, it also has a K&N cone. I have pulled codes from my GM vehicles but how do I pull the codes from the ECM in my GT and what do they mean?

I am also selling all of my GM vehicles to keep this car...should have done it much earlier.

thanks

Dump the codes and see what the computer says is wrong…

Here's the link to dump the computer codes with only a jumper wire or paper clip and the check engine light, or test light or voltmeter. I’ve used it for years, and it works great.

See http://www.troublecodes.net/Ford/
OR
See http://www.dalidesign.com/hbook/eectest.html for more descriptive help
OR
See http://www.mustangworks.com/articles/electronics/eec-iv_codes.html

Trouble codes are either 2 digit or 3 digit, there are no cars that use both 2 digit codes and 3 digit codes. Codes have different answers if the engine is running from the answers that it has when the engine isn't running. It helps a lot to know if you had the engine running when you ran the test.
