        2. @xgsymarley I ask because on some cars, they play beep-codes or flash the CEL in a pattern that you can look up online to find out what the problem is without needing a mechanic.

          1. @ceruleanspark I looked in the book that I got with my car and it says nothing about beeping when starting it.

            1. @xgsymarley Yeah, the codes are meant for mechanics, rather than end users, so they're not in the manual. The other thing you could try is disconecting the battery and letting it stand for a little while, then hooking it back up.

              1. @ceruleanspark I will just get the guy that sold it to me to check it hes a mechanic so he sould know. Got it off him for £200.
