If you're reading it right, it's the VSS (Code 17). Does your speedometer work properly?

The long blinks = the first number
The short blinks = the second number

yeah my speedometer works fine. what else can it be cause it blinks the 7 first and then the l long one second? can that mean that is misfire in cylinder one or does it have to blink seven one times for it to be the cylinder misfire

10 IAT - intake air temperature sensor

what the guy said above me sounds like code 7 and 10

and since its the tps and iat you should be having some throttle response problems maybe a little idling problem

okay so i have to codes that is what you are saying. i know that my tps sensor might be throwing a code cause i had to replace it and i didn't calibrate it yeah. but what about the intake air temperture sensor. i do have an idle problem. so it aint my cylinder 1 misfire right.

Are you using an OBD1 engine harness and an OBD1-OBD2 jumper harness with ECU? If so, the OBD1 SOHC harness does not have an IAT.
