Check Engine Light
Ok Guys i have a 95 Sport inline 6 with a manual tranny, last week the check engine light came on while i was driving home, but the engine feels no different. if you shut the engine off then restart it the light stays off for about 5 minutes then comes back on. My brother said it might be because it has 240k miles on it, and that nothing is actually wrong with the engine. Any Ideas????

There is a procedure for reading codes on 95 and older OBDI vehicles, but I am not sure how it is done.
I know you have to cycle the key off and on a few times then count the number of times the CEL flashes.
The flashes wil be spaced apart and when a longer OFF time is seen that is the end of one digit.
So if the light flashes 3 time, then pause, then 4 times , then pause, then 6 times the code is 346.
Do a searching on reading codes, it has to be on here somewhere.

The light has nothing to do with the mileage on the vehicle. Something is wrong.
