I was driving last night and my SES light came on - steady on not blinking. The gas cap is on tight, all the seals around the intake/hose are tight, and it looks like the oil is fine.

I just tried to reset the ECU using these instructions.

After a couple tries the SES light turned off, but when the engine revs between 3 and 4k rpms it starts to flicker. When I released the pedal and let it idle it stayed off for the most part but still flickered here and there. By flicker I mean not a steady blink, but a sporadic on/off a random number of times then stays off again.

Any ideas?

 

If you don't have an OBDII scanner, take it to a parts store so they can run the code.

 

+1 ^

 

Going to go find a scanner, would someone be so kind as to tell me where I find the hook up in the car. Im almost embarrassed to ask...

 

Haha! Just left of the steering wheel, under the dash. Noob!

 

Thank you!

And yeah, with as many mods and installs as Ive done I have never messed with the ODB port.

 

Bringing this back from the dead. I just had this same thing happen to me tonight...any ideas?

 

Did you get your code read?

 

No, it just happened about an hour ago and all the shops are closed (like Autozone).

 

More info: I came back home and turned off the car, then turned it back on and went for another drive and it didn't happen again. Didn't notice a loss of power in either instance.
