If the check engine light is coming on then it should store the code in memory. I would jump the test harness and see what code is coming up.

The ecu stores the code once the cel comes on.The cel doesn't have to be on in order to pull a code.So pull the code and find the answer......easy as 1-2-3

well since i dont know much about cars, i guess i wouldnt know the code is stored, which is probably why i was asking a question, instead of deciphering it for myself that it stores a code. so if u were just gonna be a **** about it, whyd u even post? thanks to everyone else who helped though, i appreciate it, and thanks to the guy who posted the pictures up.
