help with error code 12
I just finished putting in the TPI system in my 86 camaro that was carb.
any how I got it all started up today but the check engin light is staying on
so i turn the ign on and jumper the pins on the aldl
the check engine light flashes 12 (No reference pulses to ECM ) correct?
what does this mean?

A code 12 is pulled everytime you do that. If that is the only code you shouldn't have a check engine light.
