Need help with My 96 1500 V6

[Corey 78K5]

My service engine light keeps poping on and sometimes the idle runs around 2000 rpm's /forums/images/graemlins/confused.gif /forums/images/graemlins/angryfire.gif It will stop but only after I shut the engine down and start it back up. Could it be the throttle position sensor doing this /forums/images/graemlins/dunno.gif

lots of shops will check your codes for free /forums/images/graemlins/dunno.gif it doesn't even have to be when the light is on, it often stores the code even if its not happening at that second. Or you could rip out the motor and drop in a big block and just junk that Vortec in my local yard /forums/images/graemlins/whistling.gif

You could go to Autozone and get a lillte "key" and a book for free that you could use to check it and see what code it is.

Oops, I thought autozone was the wal-mart of parts stores - everywhere you look you see one /forums/images/graemlins/blush.gif /forums/images/graemlins/rotfl.gif

a paperclip works just as well.

check the codes- Probably an O2 or a TPS sensor.

So what do you do with a paper clip? BTW My truck has the OBD2 system.

Wont work on OBD2. You need a scaner.
