Car didn't wanna start yesterday after a short trip... Stopped at blockbuster and when I came out, tried to start it up, and it turned over, started, but then died immediately...
I wait a few seconds, and try it again, and sure enough, it starts...
check the handy scanmaster (See payam, 'stock' cars can take advantage of these too ;) hehe) and sure enough, Opti codes... Thankfully the 16 code must be just a stored code, as I've heard if its a 'real' code, the car will not start, as it will cut all fuel...
I know my opti is going out, but i'm holding on for dear life to the one i have :) Praying that it doesn't die in the next few months...
I've gotten both codes on a number of occasions now, 36 much more often then 16, but this is the first time for the code 51...
Its a EProm/PCM type error that my Hanes says to take to the dealership for them to look at:rolleyes:
that won't be happening however :) I'll try to start the car again today after disconnecting the battery and with any luck the codes will be removed.
Anyone else ever see the Code 51?
Thanks guys,
Jeff
