Hey guys, looking for some help. Curious if anyone knows where might i find a new diagnostic computer to check codes on my new ride? I tried to order one online two months ago and the Dude says it is still on back order. ( I slow boat from china i guess, so i cancelled the order.) I haven't driven the car since the oil pressure Tell Tale light started flickering. I did change the oil and filter after taking ownership. It was flickering after a weekend of driving put on about 500 miles before the issue presented itself. Just getting used to the car i originally thought it might have been a short somewhere because it only happened to flicker when i applied the brakes. Since then i have run it around the block a few times the light glows solid now. Thinking maybe i need to replace the filter again? Any other possible obstructions that could cause a drop in oil pressure or could it be a faulty sensor? It seems to run out fine, no unusual sounds. The car has sat for about 8 years until i purchased a few months ago. She only has like 9k miles on her. I also have a engine light on and why i want the computer to hook up to her. My traditional Snap-on unit doesn't display any codes, i can clear it but it returns. I think it is a O2 sensor, but again not certain. Think the guy clogged up the cats by running her at idle up to operating temperature then shutting her back off over the years. Not to mention he obviously put a ton of stabil in the tank to keep the gas alive. I already changed the High and Low volume fuel pumps and tried to get all the old fuel out of the tank, then ran a few tanks of gas thru her with octane booster and injector cleaner. She has steadily gotten smoother and smoother at idle and under acceleration. Lastly, she is now showing signs of hard starting 5-7 seconds before firing ( whether hot or Cold) thinking crank sensor.
Anyhow until i get a computer on her to hear what she wants to tell me i am just assuming. Any insight with any of these issues would be greatly appreciated. :shrug:
