if you got the code by counting flashes, i think you missed the first couple digits.

Is there a possibility thye car needs a tune up? If plugs or wires are old, they can breakdown under a light load condition.

Being way2old is why I need help from younger minds

Take it to autozone and let them read the puter and they will print out what could be the cause
