Need Help SC turning off
Well my baby is a 95 SC400. She just reached 148K yesterday driving home from work. I've had the car for about a year & a half now. Im 19 & bought it from a older man who maintained it pretty well expect for interior he let he's kids kill it & he covered it up by using that leather spray paint😢😢. Well my problem is if I have the AC running & turn it off the car while die on me. I'll have to stick it back in park & start it back up. It happens 40% of the time. I searched the forums & couldn't find anything. If someone knows what the problem is I will appriecte the help. I'm just trying to bring another SC back to life. Besides that I never had a problem with the car.

When your car shuts off is the Check Engine light on? If so, open your hood and find the "diagnostic" port. Unfold a paper clip and jump terminals Te1 and E1 in your diag port, and turn your key to "On". Your CEL will flash codes. Even though you do not have any visibly lit code, your ECU stores codes from events and not all events will show a permanent CEL.

Accessing Diagnostic Trouble Codes
The check engine warning light will come on when the ignition switch is turned On and the engine is not running. When the engine is started, the check engine warning light should go off. If light remains on, the self-diagnosis system has detected a fault in the system.
Battery voltage must be 11 volts or more. Throttle valve must be fully closed. Transmission must be in Neutral position. All accessories must be turned Off.
On pre-OBD II models, turn ignition to On, then use a jumper wire to connect terminals TE1 and El of the data link connector, located under the left hand side of the instrument panel. Codes are indicated by the number of flashes of the check engine warning light.
Reading Trouble Codes
If the ECU has detected a system malfunction, the check engine light will blink every .5 second. The first number of blinks will equal the first digit of a two digit diagnostic trouble code and after a 1.5 second pause, the second number of blinks will equal the second digit of same diagnostic trouble code. If there are two or more DTC's, there will be a 2.5 second pause between each. After all DTC's have been output there will be a 4.5 second pause and all DTC's will be repeated as long as the terminals TE1 and El of the data link connector are connected. In the event of two or more DTC's, indication will begin from smaller numbered code and continue in order to the larger. After all DTC have been recorded, remove jumper wire.
Clearing Trouble Codes
After service, the diagnostic trouble code or DTC's retained in the ECU memory must be cleared by remove the EFI fuse for approximately 10 seconds or more, depending on ambient temperature (the lower the temperature, the longer the fuse must be left out) with the ignition switch off. DTC clearing can also be done by removing the battery ground cable, other memory systems (clock) will also be cleared. If the diagnostic trouble code is not cleared, it will be retained by the ECU and appear along with a new DTC in future trouble codes. If it is necessary to work on engine components requiring removal of the battery ground cable, confirm no DTC's are stored. After clearing codes, road test the vehicle to check that a normal operation. If the same diagnostic trouble code appears, the trouble has not been corrected.
