94957, compression no.s

That's a 124K motor. The previous owner had the car for 1 1/2 years and wouldn't know if there was any work done on the motor, but isn't this kind of high?

Good for a small turbo surely? :)

I did search and I found only one thread mentioning this code and nothing was really explained. But the codes disappeared by themselves already so it's all good. :)

there is also a section on the home page that says all of the CEL's

...and you can find them in the Haynes as well, but neither gives details on what to do to fix each code. :)

Did they go away or did your CEL bulb finally burn out? :order

I'm driving with the needle well below "E" right now, but the low fuel light has yet to come on. Is it going to or is the bulb finally dead after 9 years? Will I make it to the gas station after work? I don't know. I just. Don't. Know.

Oh yeah. And I'm Brian too. LOL.
