I was just wondering how you guys check the engine codes, my check engine light came on for no apparent reason and I don't want to take it to a shop just so I can find out it is something little.

Thanks
Jon

use the info/specs link up there^^ and search for the pcm codes, or "key dance"

its on-off-on-off-on or sumthin like that, but hit them linx up, and you'll find it

edit: here u go... use the search function, it will sumtimes answer your question....

when you find out what the code is, where do you start to go about fixing the problem, my code was evap purge solenoid/clogged purge line/vacuum line/evap emission canister clogged?

check vacuum hoses to the evap canister, and also the solenoid for it, maybe take it out and clean it. or buy a new solenoid

Auto Zone will check your codes for free.
