i gave you the link to pull the codes, did you get them?

bump!

Do you realize you keep saying its a 98 GXL?



Did you check the link that Apex gave?

anybody....i miss my baby....she needs to be drivin

ya i tryed the link and like i do what it says but the engine light just goes out and doesnt come back on like its supposed to....am i doin anythin wrong...and sry my bad about the 98 bit...its a 89

so the engine light is out now? did you find any codes? how is it running?



make sure you check your thermostat, overflow tank, etc if it is heating up like you said... don't drive it around and kill it

no its still there... i hook the wires up like it says and the light just goes out and doesnt come back on untill i unhook it, there is no flashing or stuff that the link says its supposed to do and it only overheats if i like rev it in netural or if it idles fer like 10mins help??

It overheats after idling for 10 minutes?! Diagnose and fix that first.. screw the ECU for now. Is your fan even spinning??! Is there any coolant in the reservoir? Are there any noticeable leaks or smoke? Start from scratch with this man.

well maybe im underexagerating a little...ya the fan is spinning..im not driving it untill eveything works cuz like you said i dont wanna hurt it...i think there is probably a leak all the fluid levels are ok but when i 1st got it it didnt run..i got it runnin and when i was at a gas station fillin up the tires a rad. hose blew up cuz it was all dry rotted soo should i start w/ new hoses..new thermostat.how do you check and make sure your water pump is ok???

the pump has a small hole under the pulley.. check and see if coolant is coming out of there
