RE: 164Q - Check engine light?

["Glenn Wasserman" <glennwa@domain.elided>]

I found the codes on the Digest FAQ site, and blinked them back. (You're right, it is easy to do).
 
I got a 1251 code - EPROM Control Unit Faulty - Replace S11. 
 
Sounds expensive :-(
 
Anyone know what this REALLY means? What's the EPROM control unit? Is this going to just quit at some point?
 
Thanks
-Glenn

	first thing to do is pull the codes.  it's safer not to drive the car until you're sure what the problem is. 

	to get the codes, turn the key to on, then pump the throttle to the floor five times.  the check engine light will flash out the four digit code, with a long flash in between.  you'll figure it out.  the 164 site should have a list of codes, or call a service shop from there. 

	good luck!
