key on engine not running.
hit reset.
push options and hold
hit fuel 4 times
the codes will cycle through automatically
It's best to have someone write them down while you read them out.

Default You guys are great!

P 0140 is my current code. I have already replaced the vacuum hose from the AIR pump along the wheel well and to the manifold. I have also had both ceck valves replaced. I'm gonna do some searching now. Maybe I'm a victim of battery acid...
