Did you find where the codes are listed in "info threads", a sticky at the beginning of the forum? I didn't count your flashes and write them down, but if you do you should find codes listed that match your count. I did see a 5, a 9 ect. They are four digit codes with a space between them. Note that one pattern is "end of codes"

Ya I know how to find the codes and technically how to count them.

A lot of those code numbers make sense. Thanks

Forward 02 sensor wires often get melted/ messed up on the hot exhaust manifold. There might be a start. If yer not in Ca or Hawiee a parts store might check or clear codes free.

I was told recently by our two local Advance Auto stores that they no longer will scan for codes. Orders from the top supposedly.

I had heard that can be an issue. A very rare DRB II, or a Snap-On 2500 with the correct cartridge might do it.

Btw, just disconnecting the battery over night should clear old codes. No harm in having something on there, dome light or headlights. One code you had I think was battery disconnected or some such. Not sure but that might go away after or before 40 starts.

Cool you found the 02 wire. An 02's five volt feed from the puter shorting can maybe freak some other stuff out. You might check fuses in your PDC, especially the mini ones here.
