My cousin just called and said his '93 Del Sol is turning on the Check engine light intermittently. Since it probably doesn't have the OBDII connector, is there a way to get the code? Also, does anyone have a link to a list of codes for the '93?

Thanks.

Turn your car off. Look under your dash in the passenger footwell, and you'll find a single plug in a green boot. You don't even have to pull back the carpet to find it. Jump the two terminals with a paperclip or some other metal thing. Flip on the ignition, but not the engine. The CEL (check engine light) will start flashing, morse code style (dash/dot). Count the number of long flashes and short flashes. The code will repeat. In my case I got 4 long flashes and 1 short flash. Hence code 41.

Hot Damn! Perfect. Glad I have OBDII :-)

But hey, it's better than nothing for sure!
