Engine with high RPM
I went to start the vet today and immediately the fan came on along with the check engine light and the car was running at 1400 rpms. When I put it in gear the engine dies. It was running great last night. Can't figure this one out!

did you pull the code? That would help a lot.
what year is the damned thing? Please... these cars vary from year to year SO MUCH...
If it's a 92 or 93, check this out:

that helps.
you still need to pull the codes from the ECM.
I stole this image from Casethecorvetteman:
Jump pins A and B and count the flashes on the SES light on the DIC.
You will get three flashes of 12:
<flash> short pause <flash><flash>
longish pause
<flash> short pause <flash><flash>
longish pause
<flash> short pause <flash><flash>
long pause
the code:
For example, says it's a code 32:
<flash> <flash> <flash> short pause <flash><flash>
longish pause
<flash> <flash> <flash> short pause <flash><flash>
longish pause
<flash> <flash> <flash> short pause <flash><flash>
longish pause
It does that 5 times.
It will then show the next code (if more than one is stored).
at the end, it will flash the 12 code again.
Code 12 means that everything is talking.
another option, and potentially easier, is to go to Autozone and see if they can pull the code, but since you can't drive it...
