welp, not the best time for that to come on for me. 10 minutes into morning commute in 20 degree weather. not even fully awake and my car went into,"DANGER WILL ROBINSON!" mode. "reduced engine power flashing on the message machine. engine light came on. some other traction control/abs warning thing flashing on the message machine, and couldnt go over 40mph.
i stopped at the next gas station that was about 5 more minutes of driving.collected my thoughts for a second and concluded i have no clue what could cause this. so went in,got some caffeine, and was gonna head back home. car fired up and was running like it typically does-perfect- except the engine light was one. so headed in the direction i was goin. no problems with my baby except the engine light now on.
then after a few hours i got back in my car and the engine light was off. hhhhmmmmm....
now to my question:
will the memory machine store a code so i can get it scanned and find out the cause or does it delete the code somehow(like my own memory-out of sight out of mind type thing) if the engine light goes off?
ok-questionS:
a little reading here looks like there could be a ground problem. other than the chassis(?) ground on the trans, are there any other grounds i should clean up?
