Code stored even after check engine light goes off ?
My 95 Sentra has been hitting check engine light after every 300-600 miles for the last 3/4 months. Once it went off automatically after 2/3 days of driving, and rest of the times just I reset the battery to turn it off. I once pulled two codes, P0505 IAC malfunction, P0136 O2 sensor but didn't have the money to fix it at that time. Plus, my idle was just fine.. and car runs great.. But now, after getting stuck with that light so many times, last week when the light came on, I made an appointment with a good mechanic to do a proper diagnosis of the problem... Tomorrow is the appointment date, and the damn light has disappeared tonight.. while I was driving.. in front of my eyes !!
Now, - can anyone pls tell me whether the code is still stored in the computer now ? - Cause if the code is stored, I might still do the diagnosis..I'm sure that light will come back!
The light generally comes back when I'm driving uphill, or need some power.. but can't get any.
BTW - I just did an alignment and wheel balancing yesterday..but I am sure that it has no reason to fix the CEL off..
something has to happen three time before the light comes on it will store a error that occur but not enough times to trigger the light so unless the ecu was reset it should still have the code

Thanks! Well, yes I know that 3 times thing.. but my question is that "something" must have happened to turn off the light (cause I didn't reset the ECU).. now, did it remove the code too alongwith the light ?
morons like this start threads all the time. They probably want a 240sx because its what is hot right now instead of a honda civic and wants to drift in a shopping parking lot...dumb and unsafe.guys like this can't handle the power of a vehicle and want the numbers for bragging rights,only to find themselves wrapped around a tree.
