Well, I'm quite pleased with myself. My code-reader works just fine! (Small steps.) Here is where I am at now:

Before I had found this site I had left the battery disconnected from the last time I had "worked" on the car. I had also (not so smart, I know) fiddled with the linkage for the throttle in the engine compartment and had managed to make the ASR light illuminate at all times. Well, before I put my new reader to work I put the linkage back to where it was when I got the car and then hooked the battery back up. (I'm relaying this info not to embarrass myself but to make sure everyone has a clear picture of what is going on.)

Well, I started out using the built-in LED and this time I got code 6 which to my knowledge is "Idle speed control faulty."

This code was cleared and so far has not returned.

The most relevant code is #11 for the EA/CC/ISC module. (Pin 7.) This code is described as the following: "Closed throttle recognition signal to engine control module/ Fuel safety shut off to engine control module."

The above description makes sense based on my symptoms. The question I have now is where to go from here??

I don't know if this means I have a bad engine control module, or if there is a sensor involved somewhere or if this is just an odd symptom of the dreaded EA issue these cars seem to be known for??

Once again any advice will be greatly appreciated! (And thanks again Deanyel for the priceless advice on having more than one place to pull codes from.)
