I for one am sorry that you got pounded on so badly. But honestly this is the way of the internet world. If you show up and start asking questions without trying, I mean really trying to figure things out yourself, you're gonna take a beating every time. If you had tried, you could have found this information yourself. If you had read and thought about posts earlier in this thread you would have easily figured it out.
You didn't...and they pounced.

I will say that it's okay to not know things. But it was your approach I think that pissed them off. Had you started out with something like (I don't really understand how to pull codes) or something instead of
F*** the codes. if my engine blows its a good reason to get a klze BUT my 1.6 still pulls so im down with it for now haha
haha thank you for the input thow.
I think you would have a much response.
You wanted help, and really the codes are useful. They've helped me out a lot.

I hybernated due to being in school for the past few months and I come back and find this...I just read it all. It was all so amusing. I hope you learned your lesson.
Oh, note of advice.
Don't bash canadians.
Just because you young,
it doesn't mean you have to be stupid.

okay so you told me to gettin a f'n paper clip did you bother to tell me what to do with it?
That's where the "search" feature come in.
OH! Looky what I found with a simple search...with the term "paperclip"

3) Take a paperclip and put it in the diagnostics box on the right hand side of the car (WITH THE CAR OFF) - jumping the pins GND and TEN. Use the search button here for a more detailed explaination, or check out the FAQ section. Just be careful when doing this not to connect to anything but the TEN and GND or the paperclip will melt
It's actually on the left hand (drivers) side of the engine compartment near the firewall. It's a 3x2" black box that has "diagnostics" on the top cover. Flip it open and you should have a sticker inside that shows the 'ten' and 'gnd' terminals. Jump them with the ignition off. Then hop in the car with a pen and paper handy and turn the key on but do not start the engine. This causes the check engine light to flash any stored codes. Count the flashes. blink-blink-blink.......blink blink..... would be 32 (for example).
It's unlikely you'd screw anything up unless you go modifying things or ripping off vacuum lines in a fury of frustration.

As for You, SuperK. You're just weird.
okay so i gotta bobby pin from a girl at school sanded it stuck it in my diagnostic and it came up 17 or 1-7 sooo.. oxygen sensor incorrect? does that have to do with the MAF or the 02 sensors?

Well, with simple deduction:
-MAF is Mass Air Flow sensor
-Oxygen (aka O2) sensor
I'm going to go with: Oxygen sensor code means oxygen sensor is bad. Holy crap, its just like our first diagnosis. Whaddaya know.
Unless you're one of those people who needs to be reassured in everything, like I often do, then ignore most of the sarcasm.

O2 is oxygen sensor? What the heck is wrong with you guys! O2 is O-Town's last album. Not freakin' OXYGEN. Come on now, your car just needs some good ol' boy band pop and it'll work just fine.
