Well, I got it started. We took it for a nice test drive, but the check engine light came on. Any ideas.
Thanks,
Kyle

Look for an OBD code that sets the CE light.

OBD procedures are in the 700/900 FAQ (same OBD on 200/700/900).

Similar info in the Bentley 240 manual. Don't know about Haynes.

"Look for an OBD code that sets the CE light."

Are you sure I have an OBD. And if I do do I have to have one of those things that hooks to a laptop?
The faq says this:
"For every model year up to and including the '95s (except 200 series DLs and GLs), you can flash out fault codes, as well as perform input and output testing, through the OBD-I diagnostic connector unit"

I suppose I could look at all the possibilities that could set it off and just not use the OBD to detect it.
Thanks,
Kyle

Are you sure I have an OBD? Yes. It's a small black plastic box mounted back behind the left strut tower. It has a push-button, a probe wire, several sockets, and an LED indicator.

And if I do do I have to have one of those things that hooks to a laptop? No, it's all done from the LED box under the hood.

I'm afraid the FAQ is wrong in excluding 200 series. They have had it since '89.

There are codes for both FI and Ignition systems, only a few of which set the CE light. IMO, this might give you a place to start.

I don't think the Haynes manual has any OBD information.
The Bentley manual does, but has some minor omissions (like which Ignition codes will set the CE light).

The FAQ does have the basic info you need. For now, look primarily at how to use Diagnostic sockets 2 and 6 (Fuel and Ignition).

My haynes manual has a very good description of the OBD system, believe it or not, including lots of codes and a HOW TO...

Please give me some identifying # on your Haynes manual.

I can't find any OBD info in the two 240 Haynes books that I have.

I don't use the Haynes much, so I have trouble finding things. Mine covers '76 thru '93, so it should have OBD info. Could you tell me which chapter or section has it?

Look in the Haynes manual if you don't have anything better. They should have it in stock at mostly any auto store or large bookstore for around $15.00. You will then find out how to use the OBD on your car.
