Hey fellas! before i ask my question, i just want to thank everyone for helping me with my clutch. anywho, my 89 is idling pretty low, about 6 to 7ooo rpm. it used to idle at 8 but now its acting up. my service engine soon light has been on for quite a while now and i was wondering what scan tool will pull codes.
another thing, the first start of the day it fires right up, but after its the slightest bit warmed up it takes a couple revolutions to start. i smell fuel too. i have a feeling the two problems are related. thanks so much for your help, joe

I'm agreein' here there, r'gade... Higher rev's from a lean fire, in turn, from weak injector pintle springs. Ever notice black burn (exhaust) after startin' a COLD motor, which goes away in a moment? Dead giveaway for leaky injectors.
You can trip the codes yourself; search a few posts here for the procedure. You need a paper clip, or some needle nose pliers...
