I can't understand a thing you're saying. Please use punctuation.

You don't need a "scan tool" for our cars. All you need is a paperclip.
Read the thread at the top of this section that says "read here first". It tells you exactly how to check that error code, as well as what the code means. There's a reason why it says "read here first". I know I've directed you to that particular thread in the past, at least once.

From your description, from what I can understand (and I can BARELY understand you), it sounds to me like you're going to get code 43, which is an oxygen sensor code.

Same thing happened to me, intermittent cel, had to check it three times before the cpu would throw a 43.

And the light came on when you hit highway speeds, right?

It only came on once, it was when I punched it in town. But on my way to go buy the o2 sensor I couldn't get it to come on no matter what. When I pulled over after it showed, I had to test it 3 times before I could get the code to show.

Deev was saying that hes sure hes directed you to that specific link before, the READ HERE FIRST link. He wasnt saying you have asked this question twice. He was politely telling you to use the search button, and or read the read here first threads because doing so will usually answer your simpler questions; ie, how to pull ecu codes.

[deevergote]

There are MANY very common questions addressed in that thread. I'm quite certain if I go back through our previous interactions, I'll find the post that I'm so vaguely remembering.

Just read the thread, follow the instructions, and determine what the problem is. I'm only saying that it's likely to be an o2 sensor issue. I'm not saying that it IS an o2 senor issue.

i understand but it seeems to be that because it came back on today when i was on my way to an interview. i was on surface roads but i was pushin the car hard an it came on ,after the interview the light was gone.......

Did you pull the code or are you just going to keep telling us things we don't need to know?

bro you need to get the CEL to come on and then go http://www.cb7tuner.com/vbb/showthre...t=checking+CEL to check the code, search the board pertaining to the CEL code you got and/or the name of the code you got, try to fix it, then report back here with results
