nope..why dont you go to like cspeedracing.com or so and check out the how to...it shows you how to jump the wires in your ecu and there you can check your engine light...(it blinks fast and slow) ...im not going to explain it...just check the innernet

my guess is he dosent know how to check the code
here.
To check the code, Take off the passenger side kick panel and look above your ECU (the metal box). find the green rubber housing
with a blue connector (looks like the end of a telephone cord). Get a piece of wire like a paperclip, and
bridge both connections. Now turn your key just before you have to start the car, watch your CEL and get the code.
If the CEL blinks fast, that stands for 1, 2, 3, etc. If it is a long blink, that stands for 10, 20, etc. The code
will recycle, just in case you don't get it the first time. also, there could be multiple codes.

your best bet is to hook up the little clicker that makes the check engine light blink and record what it is blinking and look up the code for it i belive 31 or 41 is O2 sensor for the others youd have tolook it up
