Angry Throwin' a code!

ive got my check engine and trac-off life coming on simultaniously and periodically. can i fix this by taking out the appropriate fuse, waiting 10 seconds, then plugging it back it? if so, then what is the correct fuse? if not, then what is my solution?

Unplug the third leg of the flux capacitor. Or have a mechanic do it. That's what I had to do when mine did that.

My CEL came on because of low blinker fluid and then another time because of a spun muffler bearing.

in other words, you two are too ****ing stupid to come up with an intelligent response so you act like a moronic jackass. honestly, your cocky remarks couldnt fool a 3rd grade retard with down syndrome that your heads so far up your *** you can finally clean out that *** that bubba deposited there when you went to jail for porkin a pumpkin in public because your combination of having a face that looks like mike tyson skull ****ed it and your [sarcasm] overwhelming intellect [/sarcasm] couldnt even score you a dead hooker in a dumpster.

now, anybody with a hint of brains have something worthwhile and constructive have something to say about the topic at hand? i am all ears to the people who have actually worked on their cars instead of just taking it to the dealership when any little problem occurs like the 2 above ***-hats.

dude, chill, seriously. AWJ was just joking and link13 was just offering some advice. But I will still tell you how to fix your prob. Under the hood, there is a fuse box, take off the cover and remove the EFI fuse (30 amp, looks like a normal fuse). Remove it for 15 seconds and then just plug it back in. To find the code that you are running is a little more difficult. Under your driver kick panel ( I guess thats what its called), is a little diagnostics port, shaped like a circle. To access this , pull up the carpet on the drivers side where it meets the door jam and kick panel. Open up the cap on the port and stick a paper clip in there to bridge the verry bottom right hole and the very bottom-3rd to the right hole. Once youve bridged the gaps, turn the ignition to either ACC or ON, I forget and count the number and pattern of the check engine light, it will blink.

Ok there you go, and stop from making all those immature comments

Hites, thank you for your insightful and encouraging remarks. Please use the search feature on this site as this has been discussed many times and there are instructions for pulling error codes on OBDI vehicles. For OBDII cars, you can go to Autozone and ask them to pull the error code.

You did not state anything about what car you have and what year, so it makes it difficult to help you out. I was wrong to give light-hearted reply before. You're a real prince of a guy and I sure wish I had gone to the end of the earth to help you out when I had the chance.

Have a nice day. The check's in the mail.

It's just too easy - your like an open book dude. Thanks for the entertainment. Too bad.

Common sense would tell you to run the code. Get caught up on the most recent maintenance intervals and troubleshoot from there. Obviously, you need a mechanic, hoss. Do yourself a favor and find the factory service manuals. Then read them. Then learn how to treat people with repsect and you will be treated with respect.

The flux capacitor can be found under the carpet over the middle center left bottom console trigger release mechanism.

practice what you preach, ****tard. btw, why in the hell would i want your useless respect? at least you talk like what you are... a joke, in case your fragile little mind couldnt work hard enough to conjure that pop-fart of an idea.

now if you actually had a hint of knowledge, you would have said something intelligent, but instead you talked like a smart ***, thus showing that you actually have no useful knowledge on the topic at hand. so whos as easy to read as a book? lmao, this is too easy!

Have a nice day.
if its been discussed so many times before than why isnt it like second instinct for you to know the answer? thats what i thought.

good golly! ya know, i think theres a use for the 'profile' button! well lets see whats in there... WOW! it says "92 SC400"; whodathunkit!? so whos the lazy bastard who cant click a button? thats what i thought; actually, on second thought, theres actually less work by just clicking profile button than searching for something.

Have a GREAT day!

so you think "My CEL came on because of low blinker fluid and then another time because of a spun muffler bearing" is advice? ummm... no. good lord! ive finally found proof that all lexus owners arent stuck-up cocky little *****es like every single example of them has been that i have ever heard! you pretty much told me almost all of what i already knew to do, but you still get a from me for at least being helpful.

sorry bout how i talk, but i call it like i see it.

its amazing how the simply not typing "n" followed by "t" can COMPLETELY change the meaning of what is intended to be said; read it now.
