What codes?

 

[LINUS]

Have you had the injectors cleaned?

Codes would be the place to start, from there it could be as simple as a bad ground - possibilities are too wide as is.

thank u. at the risk of sounding stupid, can the codes be checked by flashes or do i need to go to a shop?

 

[LINUS]

*If* you get the codes via the flash, do you have the ability to decode & act on them?

I only ask as you're new (welcome BTW) - and if you don't have experience, tools, a FSM, etc then maybe just take it to a buddy who can help you along.

Do you have familiarity with getting the codes out of your 80? Or found a thread here to help you along? If not, it would be counter productive to pull / clear codes when they may have logged & help.

On the OBD motor it doesn't require any tools, search; paperclip code.

Tools = working on motor yourself.

If you're paying to have the parts installed, let them pull your codes.
Or are you DIY'er?

thank u all. i am new. i really appreciate a site where you can get advice. i will take it to the shop and get the codes pulled. once again, thanks for the help.

Go get paper clip or wire and read your codes, why pay someone unless they do it for free, it is super easy just goggle it, then you count flashes I think it is in the FAQ too if you look
