Check codes without code reader?
Hi I was wondering if there was a way I could get the codes on a 97 ZJ without a code reader? I kno my dads 98 dodge ram had a key trick? My CEL came on on my way to work then when I got to work and as soon as the engine reached idle speed it died. The only way it will start and run is you pin it to start and keep the revs around 1k any help is appreciated. Oh and its the 5.2 V8

yea the key trick works. It wont pinpoint what cyl a misfire is coming from but it will tell you the general code.
and when you do it, remember 12 means the battery was disconnected in the last 50 starts, and 55 is the end of the codes
