[V6-12v] Check Engine Light

[Tom Christiansen]

Nathan,

Pull the ECU codes. You didn't mention which car you drive, but I assume 
it's a 93-95 V6 of sorts. You can short two terminals in the black and 
white plugs in the fuse box (under hood, driver's side) and the check 
engine light (MIL) will blink the ECU codes at you. Check Sjm Automatic or 
v12.org for details.

Once you have the codes you'll be able to diagnose the problem a bit better 
(or write to the list and we'll help you out.)
