I service engine light soon came on and i was wondering if there is a trick to see whats wrong.. My freinds neon u can do this thing where it tells you and im wonder if fords have a same thing like that.


Maybe you guys could help me with this question too.. i have a 2002 ford v8 4.6 and it vibrates bad only at idle idle is at 600 rpms. After idle it doesnt vibrate at all. what do u guys think?

 

Go over to Auto Zone or Advance Auto, they will read out the codes free. Then you can research the codes. Do that before you even start guessing what the idle problem is.

 

Any auto store or garage will read the codes for you for free, but don't rely on the autozone kid's "diagnostic" behind the code, research that here.

Older ('95 and earlier) cars had the "paperclip method" to read codes, that doesn't work on newer ODB II systems.

 

Yeah +1 on getting the codes read , make sure you write them down and post them in this thread - you'll gett plenty of help here.

Auto Zone reads them for free - make sure you write them down..

 

where are you located? if you're close by i could hook it up to my scan tool and give you a way more accurate diagnosis than anything that auto zone could offer.
