Does anyone know how to pull an engine code? My 96Ti has been throwing one once in a while and I want to know what it is.

Thanks

What do you mean buy throwing am egnine code?
The check engine light goes on, then off?

You can buy a Peake diagnostic tool.

I am not sure of the code. The check engine light comes on and then goes away. The car idles preety rough. I wanted to know if there is a way to find out what the code is.

Mer,

Go to the web site (bimmertoys.com) they sell a Peake code/reset tool R5/fcx for about $140.00 I have one and is a real useful tool to have. It beats going to the dealer shop to have your code read and reset every time.
