DTC?


diagnositc trouble code.


Do they have that? Where the Engine Check Light will flash giving the code? hmmmm if so - I'm not even sure the guy that installed the engine hooked up the engine check light. I'll ask tonight.....

If he hasn't - is it hard to hook one up in the mean time? Or is there any other way of doing the code test?


if you bridge terminals te1 to e1 it will flash the engine check light if it has one. if not get a hold of a wiring diagram and hook up a led test light to the Malfunction indicator light output from the ecu and then find terminal te1 off diagram and put that wire to earth to check for codes.
they have common faults with coils and ive had trouble with the odd cam sensor playing up also.
