Anyone know what a code "8" might be? 1993 400e. The CE Lamp illuminates every 3rd start. Don't matter if I drive 1 mile or 300. BTW I just picked up impalabuilders 400e. Drove car from NJ to Cleveland in little over 7 hours. What a sweet ride (for my wife, I'm doing the SVO '84 300D thing)

Well anyway, I pulled the code from the 8 pin diagnostic connector. It flashed 8 times. (I then deleted it).

After doing this I remembered where the 38 pin diagnostic connector lives, so I took out my home-made tester and pulled all the codes. Funny thing is when I got to pin 19 (DM) I got no response from my tester, which makes me believe that pin 19 is disconnected from the DM and put on the 8 pin diagnostic testing connector.

An eight on the DM is coolant temp sensor open or closed,,,

The other codes I got are:

LH-SFI 2, 17, 18
2 -coolant temp 1 open or closed hmmmm
17 CAN Data EAC,,,
18 CAN Data ICM,,,

and on socket 7 Cruise/Idle speed control w/o ASR
11 - fuel safety shut-offto LH-SFI Control module

Since I just got back from Jersey, after the long bus ride there last night, I'm gonna callit quits for now, even though the adrenalin is pumping me up,,,
