The check engine light came on my 88 buick LeSabre. I have a 2 prong metal tool that I got from autozone to plug under the dash to have the computer give out codes. when I do this it gives me a code of 41. the book that has the codes gives my 3 things that could be wrong. Is there any way get the one thig that is wrong. I have the V6 3.8 engine. they told me the narrow it to the one this was to find someone who had a obd1 meter. is this correct?
Thanks

Yes an OBD 1 meter will give you a better idea as to what the problem is,however it would be more cost effective to find an OBD 2 meter with the capability to test OBD 1 cars.I do have the same problem with my 88 Lasabre,the 3 codes coming up would be the cam shaft sensor($20),the ignition mudule ($140),or the ECM ($80),I found that on mine the number 3 cylinder does not look like it is firing when I inspect the spark plug,but the only code I get # 41.I'am going to start with the cheapest part first.If you have a basic understanding of the mechanics of vehicles(or a haynes repair manual) you could probably replace this yourself.If you already found the solution to this problem please email me at [email protected] so that I can fix mine.Thanks
First off being cheap with your parts is not a way to go. Some will do and say anything for points on this site.
