Profit

my Toyota Pickup's CEL's been on for almost a year now, and I know what it is. Fucking shop monkey didn't weld in a rear o2 sensor bung when I sent it in to get a new muffler put on, so he just crammed it in the frame. Had to disconnect the front o2 sensor so the truck would stop leaning out and bogging down when I hit the gas. I'll fix it eventually. I'm more concerned about the frame rust.

>this and the car is OBD1

jokes on you my car doesn't have a CEL

just read the flash code you mong

>Fixed

Some obd1 cars have flash codes. It varies from manufacturer to manufacturer, but it usually involves jumping pins on the Code reader port.

>OBD1
how fucking old is your car

My car doesn't have obd.
Flying by the seat of my pants here with a multimeter and a scope.

How the fuck do you connect your phone

> Code is gone
Idk how I feel about this

I have had mine on for 4 years and thousandths of miles now, I don't give one ounce of a fuck.

I too have an s13, but no gauge cluster means no cel, all you need is a tach and a boost gauge

As a new lexus owner, I want this to be accurate

>failed emission test the first time due to CEL

>CEL comes back on as I'm pulling out of the parking lot

Not the first time this has happened to me

Initial Down's

Freeze frame should have the code and the conditions under which the code was set. Might also be called history or stored codes.

Not having a scanner that can see stored CELS

Transmission is beyond mint, idle is rock solid and pulls super clean to redline. Fucking gremlins, man.

I don't live in an emissions state and mazda can suck my balls if they think I'm paying $1200 for another cat.

>mfw country so bad that if the check engine light ISN'T on there is something really fucked up.
Ah yes, Dominican Republic. The land of the abused corollas and chevy novas

My s13 has broken in a variety of ways over the years, never once seen the CEL come on other than when I'm starting the car.

At this point I'm fairly confident I could throw a rod and not get a CEL

>central lock locks all the door and then unlocks left rear passenger door

It's the patented veedub reliability.

Friend of mine used to have a Saab 900 turbo that would randomly decide what electronics you got everytime you started the car.

What was consistent though was unlocking the doors anytime you have the all closed

>didn't weld in o2 sensor bung
>sent truck in for muffler replacement
You literally could have just bought a new oem exhaust and replaced it yourself instead of paying a shop for a muffler replacement lmfao

Ive had it on for months already. Its a 2001 camry whats the point

>implying i give a shit about my boring german econobox
please make it die so I can get a miata already

My CEL has been on for so long now, I forget it's not normal for it to be on kek

>actually owning a GM product

Yeah, I wouldn't know, either

normally i just go and tighten up the gas cap. this is how you fix a toyota.
