straight_6 Posted January 28, 2008 Share Posted January 28, 2008 I have a 93 sc300. When i start my car it almost die's instantly. The only why i can keep it going is if i hit the gas pedal. The check engine light is also showing. I was hoping someone can tell me how to pull codes without a ob1 scan tool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All you have to do is short out a couple of pins on the data link connector(1- on top of engine [rectanglular]; 2 - front/left floor [round]. Jump E1 with TE1 to get codes. -With jumper installed; crank engine. you must count the 'CHECK ENGINE' light as it flashes. -First series= first digit; a short pause. Second series = second digit. then a longer pause. then; the next code and so on. I think once it goes through the list it repeats. Jump E1 with TE2 to clear code. -With jumper installed; crank engine and the 'CHECK ENGINE' light will flash continuosly. hope it helps.

SCya! Posted January 31, 2008 Share Posted January 31, 2008 Hi! i have the same problem, mostly in Winter...have your throttle body cleaned...its a cheap effective way to get you idle up a little higher and it wont die as easy. GL! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Walt in Asheville Posted February 12, 2008 Share Posted February 12, 2008 Once we have the code, where can we look it up to know what the fix is?
