Um... Just count them. Then see what code the number corresponds to. http://www.c-speedracing.com/faq/05.php

As for it not starting, does it crank? If not, try jumpstarting it. Sounds like a batt. problem.

If it's cranking, check for four things: Timing, Spark, Fuel, and Compression. If you have all four of these ingredients, the motor will start.

 

ok the code came up


Electrical Load Detector defective circuit or unplugged / defective sensor

now im new to this what dose this mean?

also when car is off the temp gauge is all the way up on hot.. and i put the key in to start it the temp gauge gose allt he way down and it dose not crank over...

 

ELD unit is in the main fuse box. Try resetting the battery first an see if it goes away.

 

If the loom of wires going to the rear lights,etc. is unplugged, you may get a ELD code......good luck.....
