I'd suggest reading the codes, my 97 jlx 16v only has flash codes, I'd expect yours to be the same. there is a plug on the right of the engine bay that requires linking with a bulb and will flash to give you fault codes.
I've not done this myself as not needed to, I suggest you try searching the forums to get a complete explaination of how to do it |

as far as ive read, never owned one myself, the o2 sensors and egr sensors are prone to malfunction on gvs.
as stated by tr1cky, pull the codes if you can. _________________ if its got t*ts or tyres, its gonna be trouble!! |
