Ok here's a strange one. The other day I was driving the sporty when all of a sudden the CEL started blinking at me then stayed on. I limped home as couldn't get much above 35 mph. So I get out my trusty code reader and get "NO CODES" on the screen.
I call my friend over with a better code reader then mine and get "no codes" again. He says "Hey, lets try this." He starts up the sporty and tries to read the codes again. Now I get a P0301 code and nothing else.
Every other car I've used my reader on all I had to do was plug it in turn the key to "on" then read the codes.
Is this normal for the sporty or not?
