The check engine lite was on when I tried out my new to me 97. They fixed before I picked it up but it came back on this weekend? My Question is there a sequence for the ignition switch to get it to give me the code? or any other way?

A code reader or diagnostic tool is the only way known to me............

Hmmm, dunno if it'd work with a 97(though this is a bit late  ) But I used to know this nifty trick with a paper clip...
Seriously
bridge certain ports in the diagnostic connector, turn the key to ACC and the check engine light would blink the code. But that's pretty much common knowlage I guess, and probably doesn't work with a 97 :\ Oh well, my attempt to sound smart and feel better about myself

They say it was the oxigen sensor! He told me that they were not sure why it came back on but they had replaced it when I bought it.
So they cleared it again?
