So you have check engine light?

Anyone know if 98 is OBD2?

I'm assuming its OBD1.
Open the hood. Look for a label with picture of the diagnostic plug. It'll should show a wire connecting 2 terminals. Connect the terminals. Turn key to on, don't start engine. Check engine light will start blinking. It'll blink a few times, wait a bit then blink again. Count all the blinks until it repeat. All the codes are 2 digits. For code 46, it'll blink 4 times, wait blink 5 times, wait blink next code or repeat.
So I am using a jump wire and then get the codes? is it any different then taking it to the auto store and reading the code with a code reader? The first time they read the code i was told it was the Cam Position Sensor. The guy reset the code and when we went to leave, we started the car and the check engine light came right back on. I did not have them read it again, but if it gives the same code I will check it myself and see what it says, or I can bring it back up to the store and have them read it.
