why do you need a light to tell you something is wrong, i believe you can still check for codes. i hate the light.

I bought a scan tool and pulled the codes watching the flashes and it had a code 11= system passed no codes. that was key on/ engine off. Then i did the key on /engine on and I got- EGR, Pollution(which I took it all off the car),and O2 sensor and some kind of tranny solinoid.

It just doesn't make sense.

I have a OTC 4000 scan tool for my buick, but I need the cartridge and connectors for a ford. If anyone knows where to get them let me know.

Post the codes, I have a fairly extensive listing of codes with the causes and fixes.

as for the OTC 4000 scanner , see http://www.google.com/search?sourceid=navclient&ie=UTF-8&q=OTC+4000+scan+tool and you will probalby find what you want.
