Looking for a way to find out how to get the error codes for my 95
maxima. Ok, I bought this car about 6 mos ago, and the check engine
light was on, but the car ran great. About a month ago, the light went
out and stayed out till yesterday. Before it came back on, I had
bought gas at a station I do not usually use, but all was fine for
about 70 miles. When I left work last night, I let the car warm up
about 5mins which I also never do. When I took off, the car was acting
like it was missfiring. Just running bad. I drove it 35 miles to the
house whithout the light coming on. About an hour later, I was called
back to work. Car is still running bad, but about 3 miles down the
road, the check engine light started flashing, and flashed all the way
to work, another 32 miles. When I left work, it still ran bad and the
light continued to flash for maybe 15 miles and then just came on
steady. This morning (still running bad) the light was steady for
about 5 miles, then flashed for about 10 - 15 miles, then back to
steady again. What I am wondering is... is there some way to get the
problem identified by the car w/o going to a shop? I have just started
this job and am VERY low on funds. Any thoughts on the subject would
be a great help. Thanks, jim
