I thought I have seen a hack to read codes on the climate control.

When after reaching high RPM's then depressing the clutch the car will die. MAF?

First did you add oil, get gas, anything before your CEL went on.

Nope none of the above. Well I did add gas the day before and then drove 85-90 highly motivated back road miles. In between time of fueling and time of CEL appearance 10-12 starts.

Carrie and I were staying at a B&B and the car was driven on a light gravel road and left outside for the night.

I guess you will need to get your codes read by an Autozone or a Kragens. Once you get your codes, let us know what they are..

BTW - Harbor Freight has them

 for about $20.00-30.00. I have read mixed reviews on them.

Its fixed thanks Scott for always calming me in my time of need!

I installed an EVO intake a month ago. Well one of the hose clamps came loose and the intake was sucking much more air from the wrong place.

Unhooked battery then pluged then played. No light after 20 min drive.

To bad I can't fix my Cardinals like the car.

[LVDell]

Glad to ear you fixed it. You should buy an OBD-II code reader so you can diagnose codes, etc., as well as reset the light instead of having to disconnect the battery.

Not sure how to fix your Cardinals though...... :wacko:

Hold up you mentioned that there was a hack to read the codes thru the climate control?

Is that true ?

Thankx

Right here: Trent's A/C information boxster hack

The codes mentioned on that site are not the codes you are looking for.

OBD codes are 4 digit codes and most start with a P for us, those on the website are for monitoring temperatures and various other readings.

I figured as much. Otherwise why get a OBDII reader

Thanx
