Blinking CEL... I'm Dumb Founded...
Tonight my friend showed up at the local Euro GTG with her 96 Ebony. Apparently she had a couple seals re-done and vacumm lines replaced. But now shes throwing codes. Apparently the o2 sensors and EGR code. Now, the other issue is, dis-connecting the battery doesn't doesn't clear the codes. So now I'm dumdfounded and don't know. I was going to try putting my stock MAF in and see if that helps the low idle. But as for the O2 sensors and BLINKING CEL I'm lost.
Thanks in advance guys.

go to autozone....they have the OBDII tool and can clear the codes with it if you ask. It's a free service provided by all autozone's...Be courteous though.

Since its not my car I don't know how much truth is in what she told me or what she was told by the mechanic.

I worked there for 2 1/2 years... It'll pull the codes and say what they are...If for some reason it doesnt say what they are, the autozone employee should have been smart enough to write them down in a slip of paper and cross reference them in the computer thats in the store and it should have said what it is.
Also, there's a n33t little button on the obdII tool that says 'erase' , this will erase any codes stored, but if its a problem that the computer detects immediately, it will come back on after starting the vehicle.

I'll have to talk to her and work something out. Just frustating I keep telling her to join the network and come to me with any questions or you guys. But she insists on going to a mechanic who never even turned a wrench on this car before he did hers.

sounds like a nasty vaccum leak. Maybe they left a line off or cracked off one of the solenoids under the manifold. THe codes may be related to this but not sure. A low jump idle will be an effect of a leak

I found a crank case vent hose disconnected. It stableized the idle but was still super low.
