RTFM 200 1990

After reading the lh section of the Bentley manual I'm pretty confident that it's absolutely nothing to worry about. I'm used to CIS, every volvo I've owned (my 2 long dead turbos, and my v6 soon to be v8 bertone) has been cis, these damn LH systems with their stupid lights and blinker codes, making me worry about the car when its something unimportant. It should be a "Check your busted ride at some point.. but KEEP DRIVING" light, not a check engine light. Tell me to check my engine when my oil pressure is funky, or when I blow a fuel hose and almost blow up my car (this happened on the bertone which had a nice big exhaust leak right by the engine and also had a tendency to backfire). Every time an idiot light comes on and I think nothing of it I end up loosing a car, but when I do what I should and stop the car and get all worried and blah blah blah it always ends up being something stupid, like a wire fell off something, or a problem with the lh system. But on my turbo when the oil pressure light would flicker in unison with the subs hittin hard, that turned out to be an actual oil pressure problem, found that out when I put a rod through the block.

anyways I'm gonna see what fault codes it gives me but I plan on driving it home. I'm no longer worried. if it has oil, coolant, gas, and runs, then imma drive it.

I ask you all to knock on some wood for me becuase after everything I've said about being not being wories and the whole "confident that absolutely nothing is wrong" thing, something is bound to happen.
