#100339 sonmedrano (User) San Diego Fresh Boarder Posts: 3 Check Engine Light 1 Month, 2 Weeks ago   I've got a check engine light on, when I just turn the key to on position the "check engine" light flashes 6 times, the dealer says it has something to do with my "decompression solonoid" I've never heard of this was wondering if someone could help me out?

I don't see which wire you're talking about, are they the wires going under the front to the tank to a small connector plug? I disconnected the battery but the light still flashes.

Behind the left side cover are bundles of wires. The decomp wires are (I believe) brown. Also take the cover off the decomp solenoid (Circled in red)and look in there.   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access.
