Not 2, 3 4.. or .. for this thread.. just 1. I know it's "ancient" tech but seems like I keep getting vehicles that used it!
Over the years many shops and garages have been happy to read codes for us and we'd take it from there or make arrangements for the repair.
Well, I need to start learning to do my own code reading. I'll be picking up a cheap reader. for now.
My first big question is "Limp Mode" I've experienced it in a few vehicles over the years. They suck up gas and really feel like they are "limping" It's upsetting and for me usually sends me home or to the nearest shop LOL
The 94 4.0 manual super cab we picked up 3 weeks ago lit up like a Christmas tree on the dash when I made the 100 mile trip home Sunday (4/15) It did not light up for the first test drive weeks ago and my friend that drove it 100 miles to his house didn't get a lights either.
Hopefully, I'll have some codes to post and we can take it from there. In the meantime, I'm wondering what conditions send an vehicle into limp mode? apparently not all the codes do this.
Thanks gents!
Seems I have another book to "study" lol
I'm not new to plug in analytic devices and flash codes, they've creeped their way into the HVAC business over the past 50 years.
