Mileage: 18,000 miles.
Wont start anymore
Answer
COIL?
SOMETIMES A COIL WILL ACT UP LIKE THAT
DOES THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WORK (KEY ON, BEFORE START). IS IT ON PERMANENTLY?
YOUR TURN
THE MEDIC
The check engine light functions as it should-on at start, off when started. I used it to read the codes and it functioned correct there two.
I try to check responses often but life and family slow me down so be patient and I will be back online to look for replies. Thank you.
2 CODES?
THIS SITE MAY HELP YOU INTERPRET THEM

THE MEDIC
The only code it read was a 12. The book says that means "No distributer reference pulses to the PCM (normal)"
When the car first started having the problem , it felt like it just ran out of gas and I actually check my tank phsycally to make sure the gauge was working and I hadnt been syphoned overnite.
I have inspected the egr and it appears normal but, havent checked out the coils yet, will do so today...
