Check engine light +miss

[84Gt350]

Hello to the 2.3ers, I bought a 92 for my daughter that had the check engine light on and no tach, I read the forums and replaced the ICM which fixed everything and had the thing running like a top. Yesterday her check engine light came back on and it developed a slight misss, tach working this time, any suggestions? Can I read the codes myself? The car has 118K.

Thanks,

Dan

You can buy a code reader for about 20 bux and scan the codes yourself...parts stores have them.

Ok, this car is driving me nuts! I bought a code reader and have no codes, car runs great but I thought I would drive it today before I give it back to my daughter, ran good until pulling up to a stoplight and it quit and wouldn't restart so I pushed it off to the side and hook up the code scanner- no codes!!!! WTF? Turned the key and it ran perfect and has ever since????? Should I try another module?

You can't retrieve codes unless the check engine light is on...was it?

Not sure what else to tell ya...

No the light never came on when the engine quit. I thought these cars could store codes? I will go read the book that came with the scanner.

Well I'm not sure then...

I used to have problems with my code scanner giving me nothing sometimes too. So I'm not so sure if it stores codes or not.
